This eBook was produced by David Widger "Donovan Pasha, and Some People of Egypt — Volume 3" by Gilbert Parker is a historical novel set during the late 19th century, focusing on British officers in Egypt. It explores themes of colonialism, cultural misunderstanding, and the complexities of human relationships amid the backdrop of military challenges and societal issues. The narrative revolves around characters such as Wyndham Bimbashi, an English officer whose overbearing nature leads him to make grave mistakes in dealing with the local population, and the servant Hassan, who embodies loyalty and courage. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Wyndham Bimbashi, who finds himself besieged by an Arab tribe due to his numerous tactical blunders and lack of respect for local customs. As he faces imminent danger, he grapples with feelings of failure and shame regarding his command. His servant, Hassan, believes in him and volunteers to seek help from a distant garrison, displaying bravery in stark contrast to Wyndham's growing panic. The tension heightens as they remain without water surrounded by enemies, forcing Wyndham to confront his shortcomings and ultimately take desperate measures to save himself and his men. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of character dynamics, colonial tensions, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power.
