It was called «The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music.» In a preface, subsequently published, the author, whose style had in the mean time undergone a complete transformation, bids us observe that «behind this questionable book lay a problem of the first rank and enticement, but likewise a deep personal interest.» Certain is it that in «The Birth of Tragedy» we may discern «that unbodied figure of the thought, which gave it surmised shape.»… Nietzsche's grasp of the whole Greek literature is masterly. But even more remarkable is the insight which leads him to deal with it as a symbol and expression of that complex world which we know as the life of the Greeks.—From the Quarterly Review, 1896.

A group of European and American tourists is enjoying its trip in Egypt in the year 1895. They are sailing up the River Nile in a "a turtle-bottomed, round-bowed stern-wheeler", the Korosko. They intend to travel to Abousir at the southern frontier of Egypt, after which the Dervish country starts. They are attacked and abducted by a marauding band of Dervish warriors. The terrorists will either kill them or forcibly convert them to Islam. This "desert drama" is high adventure at its pulpy best, and still surprisingly relevant today.
