The Discovery Of The Nile

Synopsis

The River Nile was the cradle of one of the world's greatest civilisations; it also posed for many centuries the world's most intriguing geographic enigma: where on Earth might lie the source of such an important river, and has anyone ever seen it? This book tells the story of all the adventures and travellers who tackled the mystery of the Nile and the secret of its source, from Livingstone to Stanley, and from Schweinfurth to Miani. It also tells the intricate history of the gradual exploration of the course of the river and its tributaries, from the ancient Egyptians to Napoleon's conquest; from the British expedition to Abyssinia to the Egyptian invasion of Sudan and General Gordon's epic death in Khartoum.
