About This Book

Le récit suit un jeune fifre de régiment surnommé Roquet, prodige musical élevé dans la chambrée et devenu premier fifre; il se distingue par son art au sein de l'armée pendant la campagne d'Égypte, joue pour les grands personnages et accompagne une escorte musicale sur le Nil. Le récit mêle scènes de vie militaire et descriptions de paysages et de monuments égyptiens, notamment les plaines funéraires et les pyramides de Sakkarah, et aborde le commerce et l'exploration des antiquités, les hypogées et les curiosités locales, tout en soulignant l'obsession du musicien pour son instrument et son répertoire varié.
