| Summary | "Histoire du Canal de Suez" by Ferdinand de Lesseps is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book chronicles the events surrounding the construction of the Suez Canal, focusing on Lesseps’ personal experiences, the political negotiations, engineering challenges, and the historical significance of this monumental project. In this work, Lesseps recounts the extensive preparations that preceded the construction of the canal, including his interactions with various political leaders, especially the vice-royalty of Egypt. He emphasizes the importance of careful studies and professional collaboration among engineers from different countries to overcome the technical hurdles of digging the canal. The narrative details the logistical challenges faced during the construction, the political opposition, especially from England, and the eventual triumph of opening the canal on November 17, 1869, which connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and revolutionized global trade. Through his detailed and engaging storytelling, Lesseps not only highlights the significance of the Suez Canal but also advocates for perseverance and initiative in the face of obstacles.
