Book Description
A group of European tourists are enjoying their trip to Egypt in the year 1895. They are sailing up the River Nile in "a turtle-bottomed, round-bowed stern-wheeler", the Korosko. They intend to travel to Abousir at the southern frontier of Egypt, after which the Dervish country starts. They are attacked and abducted by a marauding band of Dervish warriors. The novel contains a strong defence of British Imperialism and in particular the Imperial project in North Africa. It also reveals the very great suspicion of Islam felt by many Europeans at the time.

Book Description
Arthur Conan Doyle's novel, 'The Tragedy of the Korosko', follows a group of European tourists on a trip up the Nile River in Egypt in the late 19th century. As they journey towards the southern frontier of Egypt, their boat, the Korosko, is attacked and captured by Dervish warriors. This harrowing experience reveals the deep-seated fear and mistrust many Europeans held towards Islam at the time. In addition to the personal struggles of the captive tourists, the novel also presents a robust defense of British Imperialism, particularly in North Africa. With vivid detail and heart-pounding action, this novel is a gripping adventure that illuminates the complexities of the colonial era.
