A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"A compelling narrative and an ideal starting point from which to discover more about Isabelle Eberhardt's picaresque life." --Times Literary Supplement

"Her writings, and her sheer modernity, stand up to modern scrutiny." --Daily Telegraph

She [Eberhardt] was the first hippie. She travelled with no money living from day to day; she had no concept that chastity was of any value and was sexually voracious; she was into kif-smoking; and she lived in Morocco dressed as a man. --Juliet Stevenson
