The Tragedy of the Korosko: Book Guide, Author and Facts
The Tragedy of the Korosko by Arthur Conan Doyle — plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
"A disparate group of Western tourists collect aboard the Nile steamer Korosko, anticipating a trip filled with sightseeing and civilised colonial pleasures. But when, during a morning excursion in the desert, they are kidnapped by a group of dervish camel-men, their relationships, their beliefs and their very survival are placed in jeopardy." "In The Tragedy of the Korosko, Arthur Conan Doyle evokes the uncertainty of the late-Victorian era, a time of white supremacy and cultural hegemony, but also a time when the moral authority of Western imperialist powers was starting to be called into question. Each of Conan Doyle's carefully drawn characters takes their part in the cultural and spiritual debate that underlies the story, and each emerges with a greater understanding, be it personal or universal, at the close."--BOOK JACKET.
