The destiny of Isabelle Eberhardt1951

Born of an aristocratic mother who exchanged loveless marriage for tempestuous exile, Isabelle Eberhardt was no stranger to scandal. Before her twentieth birthday, she flung her dreams in the face of Victorian society to live as few women before or since have dared. Haunted by the mysteries of Islam, she dressed as a man to roam the Sahara freely and to dwell among thieves in the Casbah. Her lifelong quest for freedom and self-discovery is exciting and dramatic, charged with adventure and rich in passionate romance.
