When leaving France in 1843, upon Mehemet-Ali's request, to teach administrative law to young Egyptians, former prefect counselor Solon feels ambitious. Indeed, this friend of Macarel's is convinced of the importance of his mission, which is due to serve France's interest by spreading the knowledge of its administrative law. Therefore he thinks of his teaching as being of public interest. However, he quickly finds himself facing major difficulties, particularly with respect to the viceroy of Egypt's character. Indeed, he considers the man as too authoritarian and often ambivalent. Yet the Professor also has wrongs, especially in his showing strong colonial and reformative ambition. Incomprehension is too deep, and Solon fails in his task. From 18475, solon is back to France where he files a lawsuit against Mehemet-Ali. He argues that the Egyptian government caused him harm by recruiting him for a task he could not achieve. This judicial epilogue enlightens the influence struggles taking place between France and Egypt, in which the unfortunate prefect counselor only acts as one of the many cogs. Solon's adventure then questions the spread of the French administrative law, as well as its reception under the Monarchy of July through the example of Egypt under Mehemet-Ali.
