“Chance, more than planning, brought me to Cairo in 1848. North Africa had already revealed a new world to me in its peoples, and a vanished world in its archaeological remains. Soon after entering the walls of that queen of the East, I resolved to undertake a much longer exploration.”

“The Nile—the greatest of rivers, bordered by its perpetual green and filled with fertile, living waters—would carry us toward those formidable solitudes.”

ILLUSTRATED ENGLISH REFERENCE EPUB

A rare eyewitness journey from the Nile valley across the Korosko Desert to Khartoum, the Blue Nile and Fazogli—presented in English with all 24 period engravings.

French architect, photographer and explorer Pierre Trémaux travelled through northeastern Africa between 1848 and 1850. His account follows camel caravans across the desert, river travel through Sudan, forests along the Blue Nile and encounters near Fazogli, while also recording the violence and human cost of nineteenth-century slavery.

This Nile Book Store edition presents the complete three-part narrative published in Le Tour du monde in 1866. The original sequence and genuine illustrations are preserved in a reflowable EPUB designed for comfortable reading on phones, tablets and e-readers.
