Bonaparte in Egypt and the Egyptians of To-day

"Bonaparte in Egypt and the Egyptians of To-day" by Haji A. Browne, is a historical exploration of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and its long-lasting effects on the Egyptian people. The book examines the interactions between the French army and the Egyptians, along with the social, political, and cultural changes that happened because of the invasion. The writing aims to show the real lives, personalities, and situations of the Egyptian people. Browne begins by looking back to the night of Napoleon's landing in 1798, painting a picture of a peaceful Egypt about to face dramatic changes. The author expresses his worry that the modern Egyptian is often seen incorrectly, and he wants to show the many complicated parts of Egyptian culture, identity, and history. Browne plans to carefully study both the past and the present, hoping to create a better understanding between Eastern and Western cultures by looking at Egyptian experiences and feelings.
