A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Rosita Forbes was a renowned explorer and travel writer during the years between the First and Second World Wars. Utterly fearless and independent, she explored the Libyan desert, sailed across the Red Sea, visited the mountain stronghold of a Moroccan brigand, and trekked more than a thousand miles by mule and on horseback into remote Abyssinia. Between 1919 and 1949, she wrote some thirty books about these and other adventures, as well as biographies, history, novels, and memoirs. At different times, she was a widely published journalist and commentator on international affairs, a popular lecturer, a documentary filmmaker, and the editor of a pioneering women s magazine. The story of this extraordinary woman deserves to be retold and her writing discovered by a new generation of readers.
