"The Last Egyptian: A Romance of the Nile" by L. Frank Baum is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the exotic landscape of Egypt, centering around a young Englishman named Gerald Winston and his encounters with an enigmatic Egyptian named Kāra, who claims royal ancestry. The overarching theme revolves around the exploration of ancient Egyptian history, as Winston seeks to uncover treasures and knowledge that may be hidden in the sands of time. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the oppressive heat of the Nile and the daily lives of those living near it. Winston, a passionate explorer, is depicted as he navigates his way along the river, accompanied by his Arab crew. His journey leads him to encounter Kāra, a descendent of the great Ahtka-Rā, who is initially mistaken for a mere native. This chance meeting brings to light a rich tapestry of history, secrets, and ambitions, as both men find themselves drawn into a narrative that promises adventure and discovery against the backdrop of Egypt's ancient legacies. The opening establishes a compelling dynamic between the Englishman and the Egyptian, setting the stage for the unfolding romance and intrigue that follows.
