DESCRIPTION - This is the fascinating biography of Isabelle Eberhardt, born in 1877 and raised by her half-mad father, an ex-pope of the Orthodox Church. Tragedy after tragedy marked her childhood till she escaped to Algeria and became a Moslem, living the life of an Arab nomad, disguised as a man, accepting unbelievable hardship and poverty, and finally obtaining initiation into the esoteric religious life of Islam. She died at twenty-seven in a flash flood in the Sahara. Her life is a great adventure story, but it is also a riddle: How did this woman who lived constantly in the disguise of a man remain so essentially a woman? How can the artist be reconciled with the adventuress, the rebel? And how could the genuine mystic who yearned for sainthood, live a life that earned her the reputation of a drunkard arid a profligate? In order to write this biography Ms. Mackworth traveled deep into the Sahara, talked with people who still remembered the 'Good Nomad,' and unearthed correspondence that shed new light on this astonishing and brief career. inventory #18256 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.

The extraordinary story of a woman, born in 1877, who led a life that would be adventurous by today's standards; raised by a half-mad father, an ex-pope of the Russian Orthodox Church, she and her siblings were confined to an isolated villa outside Geneva, untkil she escaped to Algeria and became a Muslim. Dressed as a man she lived the life of a nomad, and her unconventional lifestyle created legends of sensational debauchery, but she was able to travel unmolested and wrote extensively about Muslim life at a time when few were able to do so for a Western audience. She obtained initiation into the esoteric religious life of Islam, but died at only 27 in a flash flood in the Sahara.
