Born in 1877 in Geneva, Switzerland, Isabelle Eberhardt became a
rebel at an early age, dressing like a man so she could have access
to areas forbidden to women, smoking in public, and otherwise
scandalizing Genevan society. Already multilingual, she studied the
Arabic language and Islamic culture and eventually converted to
Islam. Eberhardt traveled throughout North Africa, wrote about her
experiences, and married an Algerian. Her legendary, short, and
stormy life included subversive political anarchism, the mysticism
of Islam, numerous love affairs, and, most importantly, writing
unmatched by her contemporaries.
The merit of Eberhardt's writings, similar to that of many
artists, was neither known nor valued until after her death. The
companion to volume 1, "Writings from the Sand, Volume 2,"
showcases the prose of one of the twentieth century's most
fascinating female wanderers and includes previously unpublished
stories and an unfinished novel. This new volume exemplifies
Eberhardt's creation of identity in fiction as her writing explores
the world of prostitutes, Bedouins, and French colonists in exotic
tales of love and conquest.
