They included Mungo Park, whose account of his travels was a bestseller for more than a century, and Jean Louis Burckhardt, discoverer of Petra and Abu Simbel. Each of their journeys was extraordinary, packed with drama and excitement, made notable by geographical discoveries and, with very few exceptions, ending in death. This is an account of a unique period, characterized by the passion, ambition, courage and sheer sense of adventure of its participants.Product Identifiers
