"Voyage des souverains: Inauguration du Canal de Suez" by Gustave Nicole is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book documents the significant event of the inauguration of the Suez Canal on November 17, 1869, and highlights the presence of notable European monarchs who gathered in Egypt to celebrate this monumental achievement that connected Europe and the Orient. In the narrative, the author vividly describes the festivities surrounding the canal's opening, detailing the arrival of dignitaries such as the Empress Eugénie of France, Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria, and the Prince of Prussia. The book captures the grandeur of the ceremonies, which included religious rites blending Christian and Islamic traditions, as well as the camaraderie among the global leaders who attended. Nicole emphasizes the efforts of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the chief architect of the canal, and the khédivé of Egypt, Ismaïl Ier, whose vision and leadership played a crucial role in bringing this ambitious project to fruition.
