product description
Egypt captured the world's attention in the 19th century, creating a race by explorers to mark their claim on new discoveries. River of the Gods by Candice Millard captures the tale of two Englishmen who once traveled together to tame the Nile and later became arch enemies. An often forgotten but essential player in the story was a salve, Sidi Mubarak Bombay, who made the expedition possible. While the Englishmen gained fame, Bombay's story speaks to the courage and resourcefulness of the enslaved to thrive and survive.
