{"product_id":"writings-from-the-sand-volume-isabelle-eberhardt-9780803217553","title":"Writings from the Sand, Volume 2: Collected Works of Isabelle Eberhardt","description":"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. \u003cbr\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eWritings from the Sand, Volume 2\u003c\/i\u003e, showcases the prose of one of the twentieth century's most fascinating female wanderers and includes previously unpublished stories and an unfinished novel.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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabelle Eberhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803217552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803217553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 6.00w x 1.49d","brand":"Isabelle Eberhardt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947197694207,"sku":"9780803217553","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d8df219a-c79c-4e22-8536-f61fe8f33de9.jpg?v=1681517302","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writings-from-the-sand-volume-isabelle-eberhardt-9780803217553","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
