English In Desert and Wilderness Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Desert_and_Wilderness Produced by Daniel Fromont "In Desert and Wilderness" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story centers around two children, Stas Tarkowski and Nell Rawlinson, who find themselves in a precarious situation involving political unrest in Egypt during the Mahdi uprising. The novel explores themes of adventure, friendship, and the trials of growing up in a tumultuous environment. "At the start of the story, we are introduced to Stas and Nell as they navigate life in Port Said, Egypt." The conversation between them reveals the tension surrounding the Mahdi's rising influence, leading to the arrest of Fatma, the overseer's wife, with her children. As Stas and Nell learn about the dangers posed by the Mahdi, they express their ambitions and curiosities about their environment, hinting at future adventures. The opening sets a tone of innocence interspersed with the looming threat of violence, ultimately foreshadowing the children's later kidnapping by individuals associated with the Mahdi, thrusting them into a perilous journey.
