Title: Stay Away from this Book!
Review: I advise you all to stay away from this book. Reading it for a paper,I found myself groaning as I read from the uninteresting and confusing book, dreading the reading and falling asleep several times. Through my paper I have found that this book is historically inaccurate in many aspects - in particular, socially. Poncet goes on his embassy only in order to be given a title and marry Alix, the daughter of the consul in Cairo. This would NOT happen. I found myself enjoying the parts about Alix, however, the majority of the book is politics related and very confusing to someone who is not oriented with the religioun and politics of Abysinnia, France and Cairo. This book is not a good interesting book and is not accurate so dont bther reading it.
