За аудиокнигава

European tourists travel languidly along the Nile River to Abousir, at the southern frontier of Egypt, aboard “a turtle-bottomed, round-bowed stern-wheeler,” the Korosko. But Dervish warriors threaten danger and then attack and kidnap the tourists.

In this novel, Doyle explores themes of British Imperialism and a defensive European perspective on North Africa; racial paternalism; and debates on interference with other countries’ politics and religions. This wonderful novel was first published in 1898, long before Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile.

За авторот

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was English, of Irish Catholic descent, and his mother, Mary, was Irish Catholic. In 1864 the family scattered because of Charles’s growing alcoholism, and the children were temporarily housed across Edinburgh. The family came together again in 1867 and lived in squalid tenement flats. Doyle’s father died in 1893 after many years of psychiatric illness. After attending Jesuit schools, Doyle went on to study medicine. After graduation, he became a ship’s surgeon and shipped to the West African coast, after which he studied ophthalmology in Vienna. From the time of his early study of medicine to the final stages of his career, Doyle wrote prolifically.

Susan Iannucci is a full-time narrator and voice-over actor working from California. She has been producing multi-cast productions for several years along with her own solo narrations. Pulling together multi-cast projects with actors throughout the world continues to be a great challenge and thoroughly rewarding.

Sayers, Jules Verne, Anna Katherine Green, Joseph Conrad, GK Chesterton, and John Buchan, Graham is also a regular performer in group productions with both Voices of Today and the Online Stage.
