Summary "With Kitchener in the Soudan: A Story of Atbara and Omdurman" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Gregory Hartley, whose journey unfolds against the backdrop of British military endeavors during the reconquest of the Soudan, particularly focusing on the battles of Atbara and Omdurman. It intertwines themes of duty, adventure, and the human spirit, as Hartley seeks to provide for his sick wife while navigating the complexities of a tumultuous historical setting. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Gregory Hartley, a young man of noble descent struggling to support his family through the chaos of life in London. Following his determination to secure a job abroad for the sake of his ailing wife, Gregory applies for a position in a commercial house in Alexandria, hoping to find both financial stability and a warmer climate for her recovery. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for Gregory’s character, illustrating his loyalty, ambition, and the societal challenges he faces due to his noble lineage. As events unfold, including the rising tensions in Egypt and the prospect of military conflict, the stage is set for a gripping tale of bravery, sacrifice, and the search for identity amidst a backdrop of war.
