In the Wilderness is a novel written by Robert Hichens, first published in 1917. The story is set in Egypt and follows the life of a young Englishman named Harold Wingrave. After losing his father and inheriting a large sum of money, Harold decides to travel to Egypt to escape his troubled past and start a new life.In Egypt, Harold meets and falls in love with a beautiful Egyptian woman named Narouz. However, their relationship is met with opposition from both their families and the society they live in. As Harold tries to navigate the complexities of Egyptian culture and society, he finds himself torn between his love for Narouz and his loyalty to his own country and traditions.The novel explores themes of cultural differences, identity, and the struggle between tradition and modernity. It also offers a vivid portrayal of Egypt and its people during the early 20th century. With its richly drawn characters and evocative setting, In the Wilderness is a compelling and thought-provoking read that continues to resonate with readers today.1917. With a frontispiece by George W. Hood. Robert Hichens is best known today as the author of the classic supernatural tale How Love Came to Professor Guildea. He was a prolific author, producing volumes of fiction and nonfiction that frequently achieved huge commercial success, such as The Garden of Allah and The Paradine Case. Another of Hichens' best-selling books, In the Wilderness begins: Amedeo Dorini, the hall porter of the Hotel Cavour in Milan, stood on the pavement before the hotel one autumn afternoon in the year 1894, waiting for the omnibus, which had gone to the station, and which was now due to return, bearing-Amedeo hoped-a load of generously inclined travelers. During the years of his not unpleasant servitude Amedeo had become a student of human nature. He had learnt to judge shrewdly and soundly, to sum up quickly, to deliver verdicts which were not unjust. And now, as he saw the omnibus, with its two fat brown horses, coming slowly along by the cab rank, and turning into the Piazza that is presided over by Cavour's statue, he prepared almost mechanically to measure and weigh evidence, to criticize and come to a conclusion.
