The Viking Press, 1937. Illustrated cloth bound hardcover of The Nile: The Life-Story of a River by Emil Ludwig.
"The life-story of a river moves primarily through space as well as through time, and Ludwig, in selecting the greatest of his subjects, has often reversed the usual order of history."
Includes a large fold-out map in the back that is unopened. It needs to be detached from the book to unfold.
Also includes black and white plates throughout.
Good condition. Staining to the cloth covers. Gift inscription by the previous owner inside the cover. Dust jacket has been removed and trimmed with just the back square in one flap remaining. A solid book with shelf wear.
