Description
Isabelle Eberhardt: A Life of Reinvention Born into a Russian émigré family, Isabelle Eberhardt reinvented herself as a desert Arab and devout Muslim. She lived a life that defied convention, dressing like a man and pursuing adventures as a mystic, connoisseur of drugs, and participant in spiritual rituals. Her exploits sparked both fascination and alarm among Europeans at the turn of the 20th century. After her death, she became a legendary figure, known only by whispers of scandal and speculation. This biography uncovers the truth behind the enigmatic Isabelle Eberhardt, a woman who embodied the contradictions of her time. Through meticulous research, Annette Kobak sheds light on this fascinating and complex individual, revealing the intricate web of identities and desires that defined her life.
