The Cat of Bubastes: A Tale of Ancient Egypt is a historical fiction novel written by G.A. Henty. The story is set in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and follows the adventures of a young prince named Amuba who is captured by the invading army of the Assyrian king, Ashur-nazir-pal. Along with his faithful servant Jethro, Amuba is taken as a slave to the city of Thebes, where he is sold to a high priest of the temple of Osiris. Amuba soon befriends a young Egyptian named Chebron, who is also a slave in the temple. Together, they discover a hidden chamber in the temple where they find a sacred cat, which they believe to be the incarnation of the goddess Bast. When the cat is accidentally killed, the boys fear for their lives, as the punishment for killing a sacred animal is death. The story follows the boys as they flee from the temple and embark on a dangerous journey across Egypt, pursued by the high priest and his soldiers. Along the way, they encounter a variety of characters, including a kind-hearted trader named Ameres and his daughter, Mysa. The Cat of Bubastes is a thrilling adventure story that also provides a detailed and fascinating glimpse into the culture and customs of ancient Egypt. The book is well-researched and includes many historical details, such as descriptions of Egyptian religious practices, the construction of the pyramids, and the role of slaves in Egyptian society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient history, adventure, or just a great story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
