(In writing this biography of the Nile River, one of the master biographers created a literary genre. The life-story of the river moves through space and time, and like the life of a genius, falls into well-defined periods. Each stage represents almost a thousand miles of Africa and thousands of years of history, and the author interestingly begins, not with the pyramids at the mouth, but with the waterfalls at the source. All the aspects of its life are brought together in this chronicle.)
