From Alexander the Great and Nero, to Victorian adventurers David Livingstone, John Hanning Speke, and Henry Morton Stanley, the river has enticed many into wild adventures. English writer, photographer, and explorer Levison Wood continues that tradition, and \u003ci\u003eWalking the Nile\u003c\/i\u003e is the captivating account of his remarkable and unparalleled Nile journey.\u003cbr\u003eStarting in November 2013 in a forest in Rwanda, where a modest spring spouts a trickle of clear, cold water, Wood set forth on foot, aiming to become the first person to walk the entire length of the fabled river. He followed the Nile for nine months, over 4,000 miles, through six nationsRwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, the Republic of Sudan, and Egyptto the Mediterranean coast.\u003cbr\u003eLike his predecessors, Wood camped in the wild, foraged for food, and trudged through rainforest, swamp, savannah, and desert, enduring life-threatening conditions at every turn. He traversed sandstorms, flash floods, minefields, and more, becoming a local celebrity in Uganda, where a popular rap song was written about him, and a potential enemy of the state in South Sudan, where he found himself caught in a civil war and detained by the secret police. As well as recounting his triumphs, like escaping a charging hippo and staving off wild crocodiles, Wood’s gripping account recalls the loss of Matthew Power, a journalist who died suddenly from heat exhaustion during their trek. As Wood walks on, often joined by local guides who help him to navigate foreign languages and customs, \u003ci\u003eWalking the Nile\u003c\/i\u003e maps out African history and contemporary life.\u003cbr\u003eAn inimitable tale of survival, resilience, and sheer willpower, \u003ci\u003eWalking the Nile\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring chronicle of an epic journey down this lifeline of civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":46671306293438,"sku":"0802126332-3","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48701843144894,"sku":"0802126332-4","price":17.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/914f9mjtZaL.jpg?v=1776881577"},{"product_id":"1455599735-uganda_be_kidding_me","title":"Uganda Be Kidding Me","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eWherever Chelsea Handler Travels, One Thing Is Certain: She Always Ends Up In The Land Of The Ridiculous.
