Freya of the Seven Isles

Joseph Conrad

This is an exciting saga located in the Indian Ocean basin, against the stormy backdrop of barely suppressed military operations between the Dutch and British merchant fleets, told by one of Conrads classic passages. After all, Freyas unique perspective on the sharply etched nature is one of Conrads most piercing studies of how power hunger can lead people to greatness or its opposite.

Fritz to the Front. or The Ventriloquist Scamp-Hunter

Edward Lytton Wheeler

Another amusing tale from American author Edward Lytton Wheeler (1854-1885), this time from the east coast of America, with another hero and another damsel in need of help. 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. Highly recommended for lovers of adventures!
