Summary: "Through the Desert" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the adventures of two children, Stasch Tarkowski and Little Nell, as they navigate a tumultuous landscape of political unrest and personal danger in Egypt during the Mahdist revolt. With elements of friendship, bravery, and exploration, the narrative delves into themes of loyalty and the innocence of youth amidst perilous circumstances. At the start of the story, Stasch and Nell are introduced as close friends living in Port Said, Egypt. The narrative begins with their discussions about the Mahdi and the political upheaval affecting their lives, particularly regarding the imprisonment of the wife and children of a government overseer. As the children prepare to accompany their fathers on a journey to inspect canal works in Medinet, their excitement quickly shifts into tension when they realize they are being watched by suspicious figures. The opening chapters set the stage for their eventual kidnapping, revealing the dire circumstances they are thrust into as they navigate their fears and rely on each other for support and protection.
