The Nomad - The Diaries of Isabelle Eberhardt  -  Elizabeth Kershaw (ed.)

KORTE INHOUD

In her short life Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) came to be known as the ultimate enigma and representative of everything that seemed dangerous in nineteenth-century society. Born the illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic Russian emigree she was a cross-dresser, and sensualist, an experienced drug-taker and a transgressor of bounderies: a European reborn in the desert as an Arab and Muslim, a woman he reinvented herself as a man, wandering the Sahara on horseback. A profoundly lonely individual for all her numerous sexual adventures, she roused controversy and was loved and hated in equal measure. A mysterious attempt was made on her life and even her eventual death was ambiguous: she drowned in the desert at the age of twenty-seven.
