- A Desert Drama: Being the Tragedy of the Korosko
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930)
Also published under the title The Tragedy of the Korosko (1898). A group of European tourists are enjoying their trip to Egypt in 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 strongly defends British Imperialism, particularly the Imperial project in North Africa. It also reveals the very great suspicion of Islam felt by many Europeans at the time.
