Summary "The Cat of Bubastes: A Tale of Ancient Egypt" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in ancient Egypt during the reign of Thotmes III and follows the experiences of Amuba, the young prince of the Rebu people, as he grapples with the loss of his father, the king, and the fate of his nation after a devastating defeat by the Egyptians. Through his journey, themes of bravery, resilience, and the struggle for identity emerge as Amuba and his companion Jethro navigate their new lives as captives in a foreign land. At the start of this tale, the scene is set with vivid descriptions of the Rebu city and its impending war against the powerful Egyptian army. As the king prepares his troops and his son Amuba stands eagerly at his side, the atmosphere is filled with tension and anticipation. The narrative quickly escalates into chaos as the battle unfolds, resulting in the loss of Amuba’s father and their city to the Egyptians, leading to the subsequent capture of the Rebu people. This opening portion not only establishes a rich historical backdrop but also introduces the courageous spirit of the characters, particularly Amuba, as they face tragic circumstances with determination and a glimmer of hope for the future.
