'In Desert and Wilderness' written by 20th century Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz who was a Nobel prize winner. The story takes place in the 19th century Egypt. A 14-year-old Polish boy Stanisław (Staś) Tarkowski and 8-year-old English girl Nel Rawlison live with their fathers and grow up in the city of Port Said. Their fathers are engineers. One day Staś and Nel are captured by a group of Arabs who hope that they can exchange the children for Fatima, who had been arrested by the British at the beginning of the novel. Nel and Staś are forced to travel through the Sahara Desert. The journey is difficult and tiring, especially for delicate and senstive Nel. Staś, who is a brave boy, protects his friend from the violence of Arabs. His plans to escape fail, and the children gradually lose their hope. The journey is full of dangers and adventures. The novel was translated into many languages and film adapted. Inspiring. Catching. Recommended not only for young readers.
