For Love of a Bedouin Maid
Produced by Al Haines
"For Love of a Bedouin Maid" by Le Voleur is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores events during the time of General Buonaparte, focusing on the character Lieutenant St. Just, who navigates the tumultuous landscape of war and politics in late 18th-century France and into Egypt. The story intertwines the challenges of military campaigns with personal adventures, hinting at themes of bravery, loyalty, and the complexities of love in times of conflict. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the aftermath of a significant discovery by Lord Throgmorten and his companion, Mr. Phelps, who find a mysterious box on an uncharted island encountered during a yachting expedition. The narrative then transitions to Paris in December 1797, where Lieutenant St. Just, the Minister of Police, is engaged in a secretive task involving the powerful figures of the Directory and the imminent return of General Buonaparte. As events unfold, tensions rise surrounding Buonaparte's return to Paris, hinting at potential conspiracies against him and establishing a sense of urgency in St. Just's mission to protect the General from hidden threats. This introduction sets the stage for a rich tapestry of historical intrigue as the characters navigate the treachery of war and the allure of passion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
