''The Tragedy of the'' Korosko (1898) is a novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was serialized a year earlier in ''The Strand'' magazine between May and December 1897. It was later adapted into a play ''Fires of Fate'' by Doyle. The play was in turn twice adapted into film, a 1923 silent film and a 1932 talkie. ==Plot summary== A group of European tourists are enjoying their trip to Egypt in the year 1895. They are sailing up the River Nile in "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 novel contains a strong defence of British Imperialism and in particular the Imperial project in North Africa. It also reveals the very great suspicion of Islam felt by many Europeans at the time.
