The White Prophet

This is a story of Egypt and the Soudan, with its principal scenes in Cairo and Khartoum. Published in 1909, it anticipated by many years some racial, political and religious problems which are now agitating those countries. The glamour and mystery of the East are the background of turmoil, in strong contrast to the stark simplicity of the scenes of Hall Caine’s Manx and Icelandic stories. The Liverpool Post says: “ Hall Caine's power of rivetting and engrossing attention will be found in this novel at its zenith.”
