«Los Diarios De Una Nómada Apasionada» is the autobiographical diary of Isabelle Eberhardt, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Isabelle Eberhardt, a Swiss woman, traveled through North Africa dressed as a man in the early 20th century and left in these diaries the testimony of her wanderings. Her pages combine her plans —reaching the south and setting up a commercial caravan— with politics, literature, love, and landscape: a portrait of a woman who lived outside conventions.
For readers of travel diaries and autobiographical accounts of women who defied the conventions of their time.
Isabelle Wilhelmine Marie Eberhardt was a Swiss explorer and author. As a teenager, Eberhardt, educated in Switzerland by her father, published short stories under a male pseudonym. She became interested in North Africa, and was considered a proficient writer on the subject despite learning about the region only through correspondence. After an invitation from photographer Louis David, Eberhardt moved to Algeria in May 1897. She dressed as a man and converted to Islam, eventually adopting the name Si Mahmoud Saadi. Eberhardt's unorthodox behaviour made her an outcast among European settlers in Algeria and the French administration.
