| Summary |
"La favorita del Mahdi" by Emilio Salgari is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Sudanese uprisings in the late 19th century, the story revolves around Abd-el-Kerim, an Egyptian officer, who finds himself torn between his love for the beautiful Elenka and his growing attraction to Fathma, a captivating dancer. The narrative is expected to delve into themes of love, loyalty, and cultural conflict during a tumultuous time. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a vibrant scene near the Bahr-el-Abiad river in Sudan, where various ethnic groups are bustling about in the village of Machmudiech. The main character, Abd-el-Kerim, is searching for his friend, the Greek lieutenant Notis Cayma, while navigating through a lively environment filled with local sounds and sights. As discussions ensue among the characters about love and the dangers posed by the rising Mahdist forces, Abd-el-Kerim's feelings for Elenka and the enchanting Fathma become central to the unfolding drama, hinting at romantic tensions and impending conflict.
