'The Fateful Journey' follows her trip with German zoologist Theodor von Heuglin, which took them through Egypt and Sudan in search of adventure and unknown regions in Central Africa. Drawing upon four years of research in the Tinne archives, and including never before published correspondence, photographs, and other documents, Robert Joost Willink presents a compelling account of their journey and its tragic ending. This exciting volume not only sheds light on Tinne's life and times, it also offers captivating insights into the world of European adventurers in the 19th century. An enthralling mix of adventure and careful scholarship, 'The Fateful Journey' creates a powerful portrait of Alexine Tinne throughout her life, from her start as a rich heiress in the Netherlands to her end as the intrepid explorer who risked, and lost, everything on a daring, doomed quest. 607 $aSudan$xDiscovery and exploration 676 $a962.403 700 $aWillink$b Joost$01041481 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457265403321 996 $aThe fateful journey$92465011 997 $aUNINA
