At the heart of Jean-Christophe Rufin's marvelous first novel is a nugget of truth: in the year 1699, Louis XIV of France sent an embassy to the King of Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia). From this small fact Rufin has spun a mesmerizing tale of adventure, romance, and political intrigue that is one part Alexandre Dumas and two parts Rafael Sabatini, with just a dash of Brian Moore thrown in for good measure.
The hero of this epic tale is Jean-Baptiste Poncet, a young French doctor who has been practicing medicine without a license in Cairo. Poncet first comes to the notice of the authorities when the French consul in Egypt receives a secret message from a Jesuit priest commanding him in Louis's name to send a diplomatic mission to the king of Abyssinia. Foreigners--especially Christians--have not been welcome in that country since the Jesuits were expelled 50 years before, and a regular delegation would almost certainly be killed. When the consul, Monsieur de Maillet, hears that the Abyssinian monarch requires a doctor, however, he devises a plan to send Poncet both to cure and to convince the king to send a return delegation to Versailles.
Poncet has his own reasons for agreeing to go on this perilous mission: he has fallen in love with de Maillet's beautiful daughter, Alix. Unfortunately, he knows that "within the Frankish colony in Cairo, he was nothing more--whatever pains he took to hide his ancestry--than the son of a servant girl and an unknown man." The only hope he has of gaining the consul's blessing is to win Louis XIV's favor; bringing an Abyssinian embassy to Versailles might just do the trick. Poncet starts out for self-serving reasons; upon meeting King Negus, however, he comes to admire him, and soon finds himself jeopardizing his own future in order to thwart the political intrigues of his countrymen.
Rufin tells this larger-than-life tale with wit, sophistication, and a wholehearted enjoyment that shines through every sentence of this beautifully translated novel. Jean-Baptiste Poncet, a young man who "had been offered every opportunity for sadness and despair, yet ... had decided long ago that he would never succumb to such feelings," is a hero with heart, intelligence, and charm, and the book's many secondary characters are equally well developed. All in all, The Abyssinian marks a delightful literary debut. --Alix Wilber
Book Description
A glittering historical romance in the tradition of Corelli's Mandolin, in which a young French physician braves the wilds of Abyssinia to cure its king, then returns to France on an equally perilous mission to the court at Versailles. The beginning of this story is a curious fact: In the year 1699, Louis XIV of France sent an embassy to the most mysterious and fabled of oriental sovereigns, the Negus of Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia). Louis's hope was to lure that country, Christian for centuries, into the political and religious orbit of France. Jean-Baptiste Poncet, gifted apothecary/physician to the pashas of Cairo, is the hero of this baroque and poetic epic that leads through the deserts of Egypt and Sinai and the mountains of Abyssinia to the court of the Negus, thence to Versailles and back again. Along the way he falls madly in love with the French consul's daughter and deals with the intrigues of his fanatical Jesuit traveling companions.
Friendship, humor, love, and discovery are the elements of this gorgeous adventure, but there is a more serious theme as well. Poncet discovers the splendors of a great empire and civilization, and, thanks to him, Ethiopia will escape foreign conquest and preserve its fierce pride and mystery into our own times. The Abyssinian has been translated into a dozen languages.
Customer Reviews:
A good effort, but grossly overrated.......2006-05-03
This is a tale of the adventures and travails of a French doctor living in Egypt during the reign of Louis XIV (i.e. the seventeenth century). One could describe this novel as an attempt to mix the best of Patrick O'Brian, William Thackeray, and Maurice Druon, although this work falls far short of the lofty heights of literature achieved by this triumverate. This is a translation of a work originally written in French that won the author the prestigious Prix Goncourt award for Best First Novel. Must have been a lean year. The main character, Jean-Baptiste Poncet, is a self-taught doctor living in Cairo. He is very much the modern (20/21st century) man, and holds few of the ideals and prejudices of his 17th century contemporaries. The story centers on a journey that Poncet and several companions take through Egypt into the wilds of Abyssinia nominally to bring catholicism to the natives and expand the realm of both Louis XIV and the Catholic Church. This is a good effort at historical fiction by Rufin, but ultimately it falls short of the likes of Druon, and probably not of enduring value. The characters are one dimensional and cliched (the scheming priests, the ministerial sycophant, the greedy Arab merchant, etc.). The author never succeeds in painting a picture of the land, of the people, or of the culture of the time. I never felt that I was immersed in 17th century Egypt, and I learned almost no history or culture. The plot is entirely predictable, and the love affair tedious and common. There are a few flashes of greatness in this novel, and I generously rated this book at four stars (3.5 stars is probably fair) because of the obvious thoughtful effort put in by the author, but there are just too many fatal weaknesses to label this a great novel. Fundamentally, this book just doesn't have the `feel' of a great work of historical fiction. This is a decent, but not outstanding, novel. I look forward to reading more from Mr. Rufin as he refines his craft.
An exciting historical adventure story!.......2004-10-10
It's an exciting novel of merit. Jean-Christophe Rufin's book "The Abyssinian" combines intrigue, drama, adventure, romance, and more intrigue worthy of the time spent reading it.
Set in 17th-century Cairo during the reign of Louis XIV, Jean-Baptiste Poncet, is the young protagonist, a French doctor who, alas, is practicing without a license in Egypt. Through his connections with the French consul, he is dispatched on a diplomatic mission to the King Negus, of Abyssinia to try to open up diplomatic opportunities. It is a dangerous mission, as Christians are not welcomed following, some 50 years prior, the expulsion of the Jesuits from the area. And during the course of the book, Poncet has to confront many personal obstacles, both physically and emotionally.
A "period piece" of the first water, "The Abyssinian" combines the typical melodrama of such a tine in literature-the daring adventures, the daring romances, the daring intrigues. Rufin seems to have captured well these characteristics as he's made a novel that is compelling to read, one that, despite the obvious melodrama, captures the reader's interest tout suite with lots of wit, creativity, and cleverness.
To call this book "larger than life" is perhaps an understatement but it's what one would expect if it were written by 18th or 19th century novelists! I look for further Rufin works of fiction! (Billyjhobbs@tyler.net)
An engaging, enjoyable "fluff" read.......2003-10-21
______________________________________________
Fluff or not? Fluff - thus the 3 stars.
______________________________________________
Buried in the not-so-literary prose are some true nuggets of lyricism. Although few, these nuggets help round out an engaging tale that make for an enjoyable, relaxing read. Set in an exotic locale in a romanatic era its easy to love the often foolish but endearingly daring Poncet, and to root for the frustratingly stoic Juremi. The host of egocentric politians and enigmatic foreign rulers are augmented by Murad, the loveable bufoon, and the courageous Francois.
+: fun and imaginative with loveable charaters and historical depth - an easy read.
-: low on lyricism, a little choppy, and left me feeling a little cheated - it seemed as if there was so much left out.
Entertaining and Diverting.......2003-04-24
I really enjoyed this book and its sequel. They are both "simply" adventure stories and are not on a par with other timeless literature or history/political analysis, but they took me to a place and time about which I know only a little and that I would otherwise never be able to see. The characters are interesting if not so developed as, say, Holden Caulfield or any of Mary Renault's.
That being said, I was sad when the adventure was over and the events, settings, and characters stayed with me for months. I hope there will be a third book. I haven't had this much fun for quite a while.
doesn't live up to the hype.......2002-10-23
The reviews of this book were glowing, but I found the book to be good but not great. It's a pleasant read but so are a lot of books. the writing (or at least the English translation) is not sparkling, and the plot is frankly pretty pedestrian. Good summertime reading.
Amazon.com
In his hugely impressive Abyssinian Chronicles Moses Isegawa renders the chaotic swirl of life in Uganda, from a lazy, remote village to the urban rush of Kampala. Containing within its 460 pages weddings, funerals, infidelities, public struggles with corrupt dictatorships (a section called "Amin, the Godfather"), and private struggles with God ("Seminary Years"), this is a first novel of epic ambitions. Narrated by Mugezi, the son of a man named Serenity and a woman named Padlock, Isegawa's book is wild and decentered, moving swiftly and confidently from place to place, from character to character. It is the kind of book that says, just follow, trust me, all these names and passions will sort themselves out and make sense sooner or later.
The prose itself bristles and cooks, with graceful transitions ("This time a year passed without hearing any news from Tiida") and scenes lurching with activity. Isegawa, who was born in Uganda but now lives in the Netherlands, is a master of unexpected verbs and details. Here Mugezi describes his mother's voice:
This woman knew how to irritate me on all fronts: her pathetic country-western girlie whine, xeroxed from a white nun from her convent days, the same nun from whom she had inherited the little tremolos which she sprinkled piously on the last hymn every night, really got to me.
Inconsistencies in the narrator's point of view can mar this novel and arrest its progress. The narrator will suddenly describe interior states he couldn't possibly know about: his mother's depression and loneliness, which she hides from everyone, the deepest thoughts of distant relatives. But for readers hoping to glimpse a foreign world, these bumps in the road are worth the ride. --Ellen Williams
Book Description
Like Salman Rushdie's
Midnight's Children and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Moses Isegawa's
Abyssinian Chronicles tells a riveting story of twentieth-century Africa that is passionate in vision and breathtaking in scope.
At the center of this unforgettable tale is Mugezi, a young man who manages to make it through the hellish reign of Idi Amin and experiences firsthand the most crushing aspects of Ugandan society: he withstands his distant father's oppression and his mother's cruelty in the name of Catholic zeal, endures the ravages of war, rape, poverty, and AIDS, and yet he is able to keep a hopeful and even occasionally amusing outlook on life. Mugezi's hard-won observations form a cri de coeur for a people shaped by untold losses.

One of my top 10 all time favorites.......2004-08-29
This book is a must read before travel to Uganda. It contains wonderful character development and provides a learning experience about life in Uganda and its history. Written from a Ugandan perspective. I read this book and the Brandt travel guide on Uganda before a 8/04 trip to Uganda and was enthralled with both. Much better than "Gravity of Sunlight". Read Abyssinian and be prepared for hours of fascinating people, culture and history.
Wonderful book, truly moving and enthralling!.......2001-12-30
I started reading this book at 9:00 am this morning and finished it 12 hours later, no one could pull me away from this gem! What a wonderfully written book... if one doesn't know much about Africa and the political, cultural, religious conflicts that are so much a part of my continent, then this book is for you. Make no mistake, though, this is no boring, uncaptivating book, it is extremely entertaining, yet also very informative. At times I found myself laughing out loud and re-reading passages over and over again, at other times, I felt a cold shiver creep down my spine, reminding me of the Ugandans I met when I was growing up in Africa and recounting the horrirific stories they told me. If you are to buy just one book in 2002, let it be this one. Be warned, though, when you pick it up to read, make sure it is on a day when you have nothing else scheduled to do. You will NOT be able to put it down. Moses Isegawa is a marvelous writer, I cannot wait to see what he will come up with next. This is the kind of book that deserves the Booker Prize....but then again, that's all political...isn't it?
Is Moses Isegawa a Ugandan Bellow?.......2000-10-26
There are some authors whose books I feel compelled to read: Saul Bellow, Garcia-Marquez, Isabelle Allende are examples- the writing is so immediate and beautiful. To this group I am adding Moses Isegawa. His story is fascinating- I take it that this is autobiographical. He understands life in terms of power struggles- first his Edenic existence with his grandparents, particularly his midwife grandma, whom he assisted; then his life with troubled and tyrannical parents, school bullies, an oppressive stint at Catholic boarding school, later adventures in business, avoiding trouble during the Amin years, subsequent emigration to Europe. At every turn there is someone trying to thwart him and whom he outsmarts with stealth and patience. There are a host of eccentric characters and natural disasters to be coped with. The customs of Uganda are so different from what we Americans are used to, yet the author conveys how the people are so like us in feelings and motivation. He might be called cynical, but it's just reality that he describes - and he is likeable. The writing is superb. The idiom seems American- do they really talk like us over there? How does he do that? I enjoyed this book as much as Bellows' whose midwestern Jewish background I share.
great "Life inside of ..." details but cynically colored.......2000-09-06
Isegawa's book offered me a view of life inside of Uganda that is difficult to find elsewhere. While I appreciated his insights, his cynicism paints an additionally dreary picture that needed no additional dark coloring. He frequently goes far overboard in discriptive language as though to give us a class on colorful descriptions. I was offended at his caustic evaluations of the helping agencies, throwing a blanket comdemnation of the lot as a self-serving condescending bunch (my words). One quickly picks up his feeling of despair for the country's future while he offers no light or solutions of his own based on his insight and experience. If the reader develops their own opinions as how to view or support Uganda based on Isegawa's insights, then the country of Uganda was done a disservice by this book.
Customer Reviews:
People should read books like this BEFORE selecting kitty!.......1999-05-17
I recommend that anyone considering being owned by an Abyssinian read this book (the info is enlightening for already owned people as well). It covers in easily understood language everything one should know about Abyssinian Cats and how to care for them. It is simply enough written to be understood by children though not boring to adults. It could be used as a teaching tool for children in the home where kitty will live. The author starts at the beginning: How to buy the cat, acclimation, caring for it "Forever After," etc. She discusses controversial issues such as declawing (I'm personally opposed), grooming, showing, etc. The general care information would apply to most cats. But Abyssinians are very intelligent, loyal, inquisitive and active. If you want a cat that will NOT sit on the refrigerator, then perhaps this book would give the reader some understanding of the personality of the Abyssinian and guide the propsective cat owner toward making a good decision about whether or not to select this particular breed or another, less active, breed. Plenty of good photos.

I really liked this book. It had some sad parts, but the story made me want to keep on reading. It has a great ending.
a facinating story for a beginning reader.......2004-03-11
My son who is a learning reader loved this book. He asks to read it again and again. He found the idea of it being a "true story" particularly intriguing. It also has led to discussions about fire safety and what we should do if a fire happened in our house.
It does grow on you..........2002-07-01
Dolores is a cat that saves her master from a nocturnal house fire. The story begins with the adoption of Dolores. Young readers are likely to identify with the cat. The other character, Dolores' patron, is a white, middle-aged bachelor living in lower economic conditions. He is highly tolerant of Dolores' idiosyncrasies. For example, Dolores is afraid of the dark. He, therefore, leaves all the lights on at night. While the story is realistic, it is rather scary. At first I thought the book was morbid but it did pull on my heartstrings and won me over in the end. The illustrations are watercolor and are often spread across both pages. The art is not imaginative or particularly attractive. The palate is largely browns and grays. The images do reinforce the serious tone of the book, however, and in the last analysis must be regarded as appropriate.

A brief primer on breeding;.......2003-09-11
I needed a book on the care and training of an aby kitten--and this was not the book. What this books offers is information on the breed, what to look for in a show breed, and how to get started as a breeder. It's really a brief primer for breeders, not for the average aby owner who want to learn how to care and train a newly adopted kitten.
What dismays me the most is the mis-marketing of the book. A table of contents along with a short synopis of the book's approach would have directed me elsewhere. The author is not at fault here. My two stars are really directed at the mismarketing of this book.
I agree.......2000-02-17
As with the first review, I agree that more technical info is needed. As I am only a "first- time" Aby owner, I would have liked some more "meaty" info about their unique personalities. For instance, Abys are supposedly not "lap cats", however, mine is a "leaner"-she likes to have half of her body on top of me (or the book I'm reading, or the sandwich I'm eating, etc.) while keeping the other half on the sofa, bed, etc. This is quite similar to the Akida (dog) that my parents had owned (although 7 lbs. ccompared to 130 is quite a difference). If you get a moment, I would love to hear again from you-I have been considering getting a Rex and then breeding both as I will be retiring soon. For anyone considering a pure-bred feline, this is the cat to choose!
General Information on Abyssinians.......1997-10-22
As a general information book on Abyssinian cats, it is an okay read. Some sections are sadly lacking in content, such as the grooming and feeding sections, and Ms. Cooke-Zimmerman tends to display very strong prejudices against certain colour varieties which have no place in a book like this and are a turn-off to breeders. I usually lend it to people wishing to buy a kitten from me, or who want to learn about the breed. NO technical information at all, and too many pictures of her dog, Chico.
Book Description
From Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church, one of the most esteemed centers of African American spirituality in the country, comes Food for the Soul–a compilation of more than one hundred recipes, and the many stories behind them shared by its congregation. Since its founding in 1808, Abyssinian has been a major social and religious voice of black Americans. The oldest African American church in New York State, it is a cultural melting-pot ministry with members from throughout the African diaspora–and a history of cooking reflecting that diversity.
Yet beyond the great recipes for dishes such as Bahamian Seafood Cobbler, Soulful Chicken Stir-Fry, Whipping Cream Biscuits, and Mama Georgia’s Sweet Potato Pie lies a rich and textured account of how the church incorporates the creation and enjoyment of food and the care of the physical body into its love for and devotion to God and humankind. Brimming with updated, healthy renditions of favorite old dishes, Food for the Soul is also illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs.
Woven through the book are stories associated with the recipes that are full of life–humorous, moving, joyful. From a churchgoer who started making spicy chili in the sixties as the South Bronx burned (Chef J’s 5-Alarm South Bronx Chili) to another who still re-creates the one-pot dinner that was the only meat dish her large and poor family could afford each week (Booba’s Saturday Night Special One-Pot Meal), these anecdotes and recipes come from the heart and provide deep sustenance to the body and soul.
The Abyssinian Baptist Church is the second oldest African American church in the United States and will celebrate its two hundredth anniversary in 2008. Abyssinian has members from Kenya, Jamaica, the United States, Ireland, Brazil, the Cameroon, Uganda, Ghana, the Bahamas, Cuba, Honduras, Panama, England, Egypt, South Africa, Grenada, Trinidad, Holland, Japan, and Nigeria.
Customer Reviews:
Inspirational and Enjoyable.......2007-03-30
Inspired by their senior pastor's warning that "far too many black people are digging their graves with their teeth," the congregation of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, one of the oldest African-American churches in the country, has pulled together a slew of delectable recipes that will give new meaning to the words "soul food." With contributions from renowned restaurants like Sylvia's, Londel's and Brian Washington-Palmer's Native, "Food for the Soul" also entertains with stories about the church serving the local community.
A beautiful book that is both inspirational and enjoyable.
Awesome! Don't miss this one!.......2005-10-14
I *love* this cookbook. It is gorgeous (with many full color photos), and the recipes are clearly written to ensure success. This is a famous Harlem church, and contains many wonderful stories and anecdotes. But be assured that the book will appeal to anyone with taste buds, regardless of race. (I'm caucasian, and love it).
There are many recipes from Carole Darden Lloyd, whose wonderful Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. And you'll find recipes from names you'll recognize and admire, as well as those you won't know, but who are sensational cooks generously sharing their treasured dishes. Most contributors described why their recipes are so wonderful -- and the church carefully tested them.
Don't miss this one! It is truly outstanding.

Guide to Owning an Abyssinian Cat.......2000-01-31
I would recommend this book to any first time Aby owner. It is excellent value for money - covering the essential elements of background, care and behaviour of your new Aby. It is a slim volume with a soft cover, glossy pages and lots of pictures. It contains a good description of the history of the breed and carefully debunks the old theory that the Aby is a direct decendent of the ancient cats of Egypt. It contains clear guidelines for how to take care of your Aby and what kind of behaviour to expect from your new friend. For a book published so recently I would have liked to see more information regarding the new Aby colours - Chocolate and Lilac. I also felt that the 2 page spread of one Aby was not a good example of the breed and did not deserve the glowing description provided in the accompanying caption.

Book Description
They come each Sunday, three thousand strong. They fill the pews, then raise the roof. They are the congregation of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York. From its founding almost 200 years ago, Abyssinian has flourished as the most influential center of black spiritualism in the United States. Its popularity among tourists visiting Harlem has also given Abyssinian an international reputation. In We've Come This Far, parishioner and photographer Robert Gore documents the daily routines and dramatic events of this diverse, living church. As much a house of progress as a house of prayer, Abyssinian has faithfully served its community since its inception in 1808, fortifying its members from pre-Civil War to post-Civil Rights America. Four maverick pastors shepherded the flock through the social and political turmoil of the twentieth century. Reverend Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., Reverend Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Reverend Doctor Samuel Proctor, Calvin O. Butts III, the current pastor. Under their leadership, Abyssinian has set the standard for church-based community involvement. For the past decade, Robert Gore has been Abyssinian's official photographer. We've Come This Far reflects both his personal connection and unparalleled access to the church.

Absolutely Stunning Work.......2005-02-12
I've never been to New York, and I've never been to a black Baptist church. But the spirit of this institution- its leaders and worshippers- absolutely radiate off the pages of this book. It is unbelievably inspiring. It would make an excellent gift for any liberal Christian activist you know, for a pastor or clergy member working hard to integrate the church into the community, or for yourself. The text is also beautifully formatted, and the history and descriptions are very accessible. The primary focus is always on the black and white photos found on almost every page. Beautiful.

A Picture is Worth More Than a Thousand Words.......2001-09-05
We've Come This Far is an insider's inside look at a pillar of African American Christianity, Abyssinian Baptist Church. Bob Gore's skill as a photographer and his commitment to his faith are evident on each page of this lovingly crafted work. In some cultures in the world, taking a photograph of a person is looked at with trepidation because it is believed to be an attempt to capture the subject's soul. And that's exactly what Mr. Gore has done in this book and there is no need for fear. The pictures and accompanying essays capture real life/real time moments in the broad scope of the life and spirit of this historic church.
Superior Work.......2001-08-24
The rich and vibrant history of Abysinnian Church and the Harlem community is revealed in this work by Bob Gore. The photos are of such superior quality that you can feel the message conveyed in the picture without using the text. With the additon of text there is a wonderful account of the Harlem experience, chock full of information about the history and the individual personal expressions of those who were there when it happened. This photographic journal is vibrant and colorful in both word and image. There are real accounts of Abysinnian Baptist Church's history, including it's spiritual, political, social and economic relationships with the communities that it serves. I urge you to consider this book not just for reading but also as an important addition to your library.
Inspiration.......2001-07-25
I've been to Abyssinian only twice, but was almost overwhelmed each time with the power of commitment and community. Bob Gore's book captures with warmth and intimacy the spirit of this special place and its people. It is the only church I've been to where I felt that power of love which Christianity must have carried through the centuries.
