Gordon, der Held von Khartum : ein Lebensbild by Anonymous
"Gordon: der Held von Khartum" by Anonymous is a biographical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work details the life and achievements of Charles George Gordon, a British army officer known for his service in various military campaigns, particularly in China and in Africa. The book explores Gordon's early years, his military experiences, and his eventual rise to fame as a figure of heroism and moral conviction, especially in
the context of his involvement in the Sudan. The opening of the biography presents a brief overview of Gordon's ancestry and upbringing, particularly emphasizing his Scottish heritage and military family. It describes his childhood as one marked by contradictions; he was known to be timid and sensitive yet exhibited courage and resourcefulness in various childhood exploits. The narrative gives insight into the formative experiences that shaped his character, such as his participation in the Crimean War, reinforcing themes of duty and faith that would define his later life. In this initial section, the groundwork is laid for understanding the complexities of Gordon's personality and the historical backdrop against which he developed into a notable military leader.
