Travels and Adventures in Abyssinia and Nubia, 1768-1773, to Discover the Source of the Nile is a book written by James Bruce. The book is a detailed account of Bruce's five-year journey through Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) and Nubia (modern-day Sudan) in search of the source of the Nile River. Bruce's journey was fraught with danger and difficulty, as he encountered hostile tribes, extreme weather conditions, and treacherous terrain. Despite these challenges, Bruce persevered and eventually reached the source of the Blue Nile, one of the two main tributaries of the Nile River. The book is a fascinating and informative account of Bruce's travels, and provides a valuable insight into the culture, history, and geography of Abyssinia and Nubia in the late 18th century.
