Description

Napoleon in Egypt: Al-Jabartī's Chronicle of the French Occupation, 1798 is a unique account of the first contact between a Western power with imperial goals and an ancient regime of an African society. Written by Sheik Al-Jabarti, this chronicle combines historical narration with daily observations about life in Cairo during the French occupation. The book provides an Arab perspective on a pivotal moment in modern history, offering insights into the local population's mood and atmosphere during this period. This expanded edition celebrates the 250th anniversary of Al-Jabarti's birth and features additional commentary from editor Shmuel Moreh, who examines the Arabic interpretation of Al-Jabarti's writings. Illustrated with images, Napoleon in Egypt offers a fresh perspective on a significant event in world history.
