About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press (c.1957) Book Club Edition. To the Suez, the new crossroads of the world in 1869, came Eugenie, Empress of the French, to open the great 'Ditch' made by her countryman, de Lesseps. In her entourage was the beautiful Madeleine d'Arbonne. James Bruce, Scottish marine engineer, observing the ceremony for his company, ingeniously cleared the canal of the Egyptian steamer which had blocked the ceremonial route, and saved the reputation of his friend de Lesseps. He saw Madeleine, in a dangerous four-in-hand race with an Egyptian prince, uphold the honor of France.... This is a novel of great historical accuracy, dramatic power and wide scope. Blue boards. Small owner sticker to ffep. Jacket design by Frank Darling.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
