The Blue Nile Paperback - 2000
by Alan Moorehead
Hailed as "utterly absorbing, (as) sweeping as the mighty river itself" ("Washington Post"), the second volume in this two-book series expands the story of the dangerous search for the source of the Nile River.
About this book
First line
The Blue Nile pours very quietly and uneventfully out of Lake Tana in the northern highlands of Ethiopia.
From the rear cover
In the first half of the 19th century, only a small handful of Westerners had ventured into the regions watered by the Nile River on its long journey from Lake Tana in Abyssinia to the Mediterranean -- lands that had been forgotten since Roman times, or had never been known at all. In The Blue Nile, Alan Moorehead continues the classic, thrilling narration of adventure he began in The White Nile, depicting this exotic place through the lives of four explores so daring they can be considered among the world's original adventures -- each acting and reacting in separate expeditions against a bewildering background of slavery and massacre, political upheaval, and all-out war.
