An Arab view of a turning point in modern history. Napoleon's
conquest of Egypt in 1798 was the first contact between a Western
power with imperial goals and an "ancien regime" of an African
society. This chronicle offers a combination of historical
narration and reflection combined with daily observations about the
atmosphere in Cairo and the mood among the local population. The
author resents the French invasion, ridicules their claim to be a
defender of the faith, rejects their belief in liberty and
equality, despises their lack of morality and personal hygiene, but
approves their efficiency, common loyalty and co-operation, and
wonders at their technical and scholarly abilities.
