About the author
This name refers not to an individual writer, but to Sudan. Wizarat al-Naql wa-al-Muwasalat, also listed in Project Gutenberg as Sudan. Ministry of Transport and Communications. The ministry is credited there as the author of The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan: a compendium prepared by officers of the Sudan government, released in two volumes.
The work was originally published in London in 1905 by His Majesty’s Stationery Office, with Lord Edward Gleichen named as editor. As the title suggests, it was compiled from material prepared by officers of the Sudan government rather than written as a personal narrative, so this “author” entry represents an official body behind a government reference book.
For audiobook listeners, that makes this author profile a little unusual: it belongs to an institution whose book preserves administrative and historical knowledge from its era. If you’re interested in colonial-era records, travel routes, or how governments organized information about Sudan at the time, this is the context behind the name.
