"The Khedive's Country" by George Manville Fenn is an agricultural and cultural exploration set in Egypt, likely written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the historical and modern trends in farming practices within the Khedive's dominion, emphasizing the potential of the land’s rich fertility and the transformations occurring in agriculture. It addresses the interplay between traditional practices and modern advancements in irrigation and cultivation methods. The opening of the text elaborates on the ongoing changes in Egyptian agricultural landscape, detailing how the climate and the rich soil brought by the Nile River are being harnessed through improved irrigation practices. It reflects on the historical significance of Egypt as a granary for the world, while also highlighting the newer initiatives aimed at enhancing agricultural efficiency. The discussion begins with a philosophical exploration of mankind's relationship with farming as a means of survival and pleasure, transitioning into a practical examination of the farming methods in current use, alongside the promise of modernization and increased productivity as the country evolves.
