About the Book

Es hat kaum ein großartigeres Unternehmen mehr das Interesse der gebildeten Welt in Anspruch genommen, als der Durchstich des Isthmus von Suez, eine Unternehmung, wie sie eben nur der vor nichts zurückschreckende Geist des 19. Jahrhunderts erdenken konnte. Und keine Arbeit ist mehr besprochen und beschrieben worden, als gerade dieser Kanal, Stimmen haben sich dafür und dagegen erhoben; Enthusiasten wollten den Kanal in ein paar Jahren vollenden, unterschätzten die Schwierigkeiten, setzten die Kosten zu gering an; ihre Gegner sprachen von unüberwindlichen Hindernissen, vom Niveauunterschiede der beiden zu verbindenden Meere, von nicht zu besiegenden Sandstürmen der Wüste, vom Mangel an Geld und endlich, falls der Kanal zu Stande käme, von den zu großen Kosten, welche die Rheder für ihre durchgehenden Fahrzeuge zu entrichten haben würden. Im Jahre 1854, als Hr. von Lesseps vom Vicekönig die Autorisation bekam zur Anlegung eines maritimen Kanals durch die Landenge, constituirte sich infolge dessen eine internationale Commission, bestehend aus Ingenieuren von England, Oesterreich, Spanien, Frankreich, den Niederlanden und Preußen, um einen Plan auszuarbeiten, und nachdem diese Commission festgestellt hatte, daß kein Niveauunterschied zwischen den beiden getrennten Meeren vorhanden sei, hatte sie die Bildung des Kanals von Suez und eine Subscription zur Folge. Die auszuführenden Arbeiten waren auf 200 Mill. Frs. veranschlagt worden, welche Summe aufgebracht wurde. Im Jahre 1859 begannen die ersten Arbeiten unter der unmittelbaren Direction der Compagnie selbst. Diese bestanden hauptsächlich in Menschenwerk; das ägyptische Gouvernement hatte contractlich 20,000 Fellahin oder Leibeigene zu liefern, welche eine monatliche Dienstzeit hatten, wobei sie auf Kosten der Compagnie ernährt und abgelohnt wurden. Jeden Monat löste ein Haufen anderer Zwangsarbeiter den alten ab.
