Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Hi Jolly!" by Jim Kjelgaard is a novel written in the late 20th century. The story revolves around a young camel driver named Ali as he embarks on a pilgrimage to Mecca, facing various challenges in a harsh desert world. With the backdrop of historical facts, Ali's journey is marked by both his deep connection with camels and the trials posed by bandits and harsh conditions. At the start of the narrative, Ali awakens in the Syrian desert, acutely aware of the dangers surrounding him. He prepares for his journey towards Mecca, reflecting on his past experiences with camels and his aspirations to earn respect through the pilgrimage. As Ali plans to join the larger caravan known as the Hadj, his situation rapidly deteriorates when he witnesses the massacre of a local caravan by raiders. Resolute, he still decides to pursue the Hadj, driven by his passion for camels and a fortuitous encounter that leads him to discover a captured riding camel, which he names Ben Akbar. This encounter sets in motion a series of events that intertwine Ali's fate with that of the magnificent camel and introduces themes of bravery, loyalty, and survival.
