James Bruce fu un viaggiatore e scrittore scozzese che dedicò oltre un decennio all'esplorazione del Nord Africa e dell'Etiopia, spinto dalla ricerca delle origini del Nilo Azzurro. I suoi viaggi furono meticolosamente documentati attraverso disegni dettagliati di antiche rovine, e acquisì sufficienti conoscenze mediche per farsi passare per medico in Oriente. Queste ambiziose spedizioni e acute osservazioni arricchirono significativamente la comprensione europea di queste remote regioni. L'eredità letteraria di Bruce perdura attraverso i suoi accattivanti resoconti di prima mano, che danno vita a civiltà perdute da tempo e rivelano meraviglie naturali.
