Description

In her short life Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) came to be referred to as without equal enigma and representative of the whole lot that gave the impression dangerous in nineteenth century society. Born the illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic Russian emigree she used to be a cross-dresser and sensualist, an experienced drug-taker and a transgressor of boundaries: a European reborn within the desert as an Arab and Muslim, a girl who reinvented herself as a man, wandering the Sahara on horseback. A profoundly lonely individual for all her a lot of sexual adventures, she roused controversy and used to be loved and hated in equal measure. A mysterious attempt used to be made on her life or even her eventual death used to be ambiguous: she drowned within the desert on the age of twenty-seven.
