About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Joseph Vernet, Giovanni Paolo Panini and Hubert Robert. Egypt, 1800–1820: an Albanian tobacco merchant's son arrives with a Turkish contingent, outlasts the French, the British and the Sultan's governors, and massacres the Mamelukes in the Citadel to make himself Pasha. Mühlbach was Klara Mundt, who wrote nearly three hundred volumes; the rise here is history, and Mehmet Ali's method — patience, then one afternoon of violence — is not softened. Fifty-six plates by painters including David Roberts and Giovanni Paolo Panini supply the architectural ruin and Mediterranean light this story of Pasha and Citadel demands.
