 | | What I find rather surprising is that despite Ismail's ethnic origin -- he was great-grandson of the Ottoman founder of modern Egypt -- he was the adopted son of the country over which he ruled, and became an Egyptian. | | | There he was advised not to strain his eyes, so the learnt his lessons orally, as Egyptian children learn the Qur'an. | | | The tone of most of the books written about him, both in Arabic and European languages, treat him as an extravagant, irresponsible money waster who allowed his ambitions to run wild, embarking on projects which brought ruin on Egypt and which eventually resulted in foreign occupation. |
