Resumen del Editor

A historical adventure book set in Egypt and Sudan during the late 19th century.

Set against the backdrop of the Mahdist War in Egypt and Sudan, "Kidnapped in Sudan" narrates the harrowing journey of two children, Stas Tarkowski and Nell Rawlinson, after they are abducted by rebellious forces. This historical adventure spans from the bustling city of Port Said to the desolate stretches of the African wilderness, highlighting their trials, triumphs, and the resilience of human spirit amidst dire circumstances.

Stas Tarkowski, a fourteen-year-old boy of Polish descent, shares a close bond with eight-year-old Nell, the daughter of an English engineer. Their fathers, Rawlinson and Tarkowski, both highly respected engineers for the Suez Canal Company, have forged a deep camaraderie over the years, extending it to their children. Stas's adventurous spirit and innate understanding of the region become instrumental when they find themselves thrust into a perilous situation.

The story begins with an unforeseen development: the arrest of Fatma, wife of Smain, an Emir in the Mahdi's army. This incident triggers a chain of events leading to the children's abduction by the dervish soldiers. Fatma attempts to leverage their captor, hoping to secure the release of captive Europeans. The journey from Port Said to the Mahdi's stronghold in Khartoum is grueling, marked by starvation, harsh desert conditions, and brutal encounters.

Despite these trials, Stas's resourcefulness and determination shine through. He protects Nell, even as they face threats from wild animals and struggle with the harsh realities of captivity. Their plight becomes increasingly dire as they travel deeper into Sudan, navigating the ever-present dangers of the hostile environment.

Throughout their ordeal, the children display remarkable courage and resilience. Stas's quick thinking and leadership, combined with the unwavering support of loyal companions like the young African boy Kali, aid them in their struggle for survival. The narrative is punctuated with vivid descriptions of the African landscape, from the fertile oases to the ominous deserts and dense jungles.

As the children proceed with their escape plan, a chance encounter with Captain Glenn and Doctor Clary changes their fate. The rescuers, recognizing the children's will and bravery, provide the much-needed aid, eventually leading them to safety. The climax unfolds with the overwhelming joy of reunion and the promise of a brighter future.

"Kidnapped in Sudan" encapsulates the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of adventure. It intertwines historical elements with a riveting plot, offering a vivid portrayal of human resilience against the backdrop of one of Africa's most turbulent periods. The narrative arc concludes with a sense of fulfillment, highlighting the growth and transformation of the characters as they navigate through the trials that mark their journey from captivity to freedom.

Immerse yourself in this thrilling historical adventure and discover the compelling story of courage, survival, and the unbreakable bond between two extraordinary children.
