xإسماعيل باشا – اعتبره البعض كارثة حلّت على مصر بينما اعتبره آخرون مُصلِحًا كبيرًا، لكنّه في النهاية كان الوحيد الذي لُقِّب بـ«العظيم».
هذا كتاب عن سيرة إسماعيل باشا، الخديويّ الأوّل، حفيد محمّد علي، الذي عُرف بولعه بالبذخ، ولكن أيضًا بإنجازاته الكثيرة، وبالتحديث الذي شغله طوال فترة حكمه.
وُلِد إسماعيل باشا عام 1830، وحكم مصر منذ 1863 حتى 1879. وعلى عكس جدّه صاحب الأصول التركيّةالمقدونيّة، الذي استحوذ على السلطة بقوّة السلاح، قُدِّمت لإسماعيل مصر مزدهرة ذات موقع استراتيجي على طريق الهند. معه، بدأت رحلة التحديث في بلادٍ راحت تتشبّه بالقوى الأوروبّية الكبرى: قناة السويس. مناهج مُستعارة من الغرب لتحديث قطاع التعليم. إصلاح النظام القضائي. تطوير في البنى التحتيّة وطرق المواصلات. كلّ ذلك، يضاف إليه أيضًا أموال طائلة صرفها إسماعيل باشا في سبيل الحصول على لقب «الخديويّ» من الباب العالي. في النهاية، وبعد تنازله مرغمًا عن العرش عام 1879، توارث ولاة مصر إنجازاته ولقبه، ولكن أيضًا بلادًا على حافّة الهاوية. Some had considered him a disaster that fell upon Egypt, while others regarded him as an exceptional reformer, but in the end, he was the only one who was dubbed as “The Great”.
This book is a biography of Ismail Pacha, the first Khedive and the grandson of Muhammad Ali, who was known for his penchant for extravagance, but also for his many achievements and the modernization that kept him busy throughout his reign.
Ismail Pacha was born in 1830, and ruled Egypt from 1863 until 1879. Unlike his grandfather, who was of TurkishMacedonian descent and seized power by the force of arms, Ismail was bestowed with a prosperous Egypt with a strategic location on the road to India. With him, the journey to modernization commenced in a country that began to resemble the great European powers: The Suez Canal. Curriculums borrowed from the West to modernize the education sector. Reforming the judicial system, and developing infrastructure and modes of transportation. In addition to that, Ismail Pacha spent enormous sums of money to receive the title of "Khedive" from the Sublime Porte. Ultimately, after he was forced to abdicate his throne in 1879, the rulers of Egypt inherited his accomplishments, title, and a country on the brink of an abyss.
