À propos de cet audio

In the 1880s, Stanislas (Stas) Tarkowski, a 14-year-old Polish boy, and Nell Rawlinson, an eight-year-old English girl, live in Port Said, Egypt, while their widowed fathers work as engineers on the Suez Canal. When their fathers are away, Stas and Nell are kidnapped by Arabs as part of a rebellion against British rule.

Once captured, the children are forced to travel through the Sahara Desert, and they face all manner of obstacles, from heat and hunger to disease and deadly animals. Resourceful and determined, Stas and Nell manage to stay alive, stay together, and escape their captors. Now they must undertake their own arduous journey through unexplored and wild regions to reunite with their fathers.

Interesting story and account of the travel, survival, and the Mahdist War. A product of its time, which should be taken into consideration.

Interesting

The pronunciation and translation leaves a lot to be desired. But, what’s more shocking is the writing itself. It just doesn’t present very well today. It reflects a dated racist and condescending view of the author toward African culture. I understand it’s historically how white society thought but it’s very off putting to read. It’s embarrassing actually.

Poor translation and content embarrassing to read for this day and age.
