La favorita del Mahdi

In Sudan on the eve of the Mahdist uprising, a Greek family, an Arab officer and Fathma, a beautiful dancer, are drawn into rivalries of love and vengeance. As the Mahdi's followers rise against Egyptian rule, Salgari's early novel races through deserts, battles, captivity and pursuit. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
