A desert drama : $b being the tragedy of the "Korosko" Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tragedy_of_the_Korosko Produced by David Widger "A Desert Drama: Being the Tragedy of the 'Korosko'" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a diverse group of Victorian passengers aboard the boat Korosko as they navigate the dangers of the Nubian Nile, set against the backdrop of Egypt's political tension and the looming threat of Dervish tribes. As they embark on what they believe will be an idyllic journey, their adventure quickly spirals into chaos. The opening portion introduces the passengers of the Korosko, highlighting their varied backgrounds and personalities, from Colonel Cochrane, a reserved yet experienced military man, to the spirited American woman, Miss Adams, and her lively niece, Sadie. As their boat travels through the contrasting landscapes of lush Nubia and the daunting deserts beyond, the narrative captures the anticipation of a leisurely expedition—until they unexpectedly encounter the menace of the Dervishes. The vivid descriptions of their surroundings set the tone of impending peril, as character dynamics are revealed through their interactions and growing sense of foreboding.
