Isabelle Eberhardt (1877 1904) levde ett kort men intensivt och gränsöverskridande liv. Uppvuxen i Schweiz med rötter i den ryska aristokratin, flyttade hon som tjugoåring till Nordafrika, konverterade till islam, lärde sig arabiska och färdades kors och tvärs som fri skribent genom den algeriska öknen på häst eller kamel - iförd manlig traditionell klädedräkt.

Hennes upptäcktsresor gav material till reportage och noveller som publicerades i algeriska och franska tidskrifter. Vid sidan av dessa nedtecknade hon sina privata reflektioner i dagböcker som gavs ut ett par decennier efter hennes hastiga död i en översvämning vid 27 års ålder.

Här presenteras dessa för första gången i svensk översättning. Dagböckerna rymmer såväl konkreta iakttagelser om resvägar och anhalter som lyriska beskrivningar av ökenlandskapets färgprakt. Personliga tillkortakommanden och uppslitande intriger avlöses av livsavgörande möten och stunder av andlig introspektion.

För översättningen står Peter Löfström som också försett boken med ett efterord, i vilket han följer de sedan länge försvunna handskrivna dagböckernas dramatiska öde. Författaren och kritikern Moa Matthis inleder med ett initierat förord.

På Bokförlaget h:ström Text & Kultur har tidigare utgivits: Isabelle Eberhardt en biografi av Peter Löfström (2023). Om boken skrev Isabelle Ståhl i Dagens Nyheter: "[Det är] en befrielse att läsa Löfströms biografi, som med koncist språk och omsorgsfull bearbetning av källor låter det förflutna träda fram i sin egen rätt utan att det görs till redskap för samtidens självbespegling. [...] Löfström ger med sin biografi inblick i ett fascinerande livsöde som även för vår tid ter sig gränsöverskridande."

Born in 1877 in Geneva, Switzerland, Isabelle Eberhardt became a rebel at an early age. She dressed like a man so she could have access to areas forbidden to women, smoked in public, and scandalized Genevan society. Already multilingual (French, German, and Russian), she began studying Arabic language and Islamic culture and eventually converted to Islam and joined a Qadiriyya Sufi brotherhood. Eberhardt traveled throughout North Africa and wrote about her experiences in short stories, journals, and reflections. She married an Algerian and led a legendary and stormy life that included subversive political anarchism, the mysticism of Islam, numerous love affairs, and most importantly, writing unmatched by her contemporaries. Writings from the Sand, Volume 1, at once the document of a remarkable life and a literary treasure, appears here in English for the first time. Volume 1, including journals, diary entries, and observations of life in North Africa, offers a view of the culture and people of French Algeria rarely seen by outsiders—the peasants, prostitutes, mystics, criminals, and other marginalized members of a colonized society. This translation brings to life a brilliant woman ahead of her time while also raising questions—about North African history, colonialism, gender representation, and writing—that resonate in our day.

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. 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, Writings from the Sand, Volume 2, 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.

As usual, Isabelle Eberhardt's stormy love affair with the Algerian desert sets the physical and emotional scene in this collection of short stories. Written in French in the late 1800s and translated by Karim Hamdy and Laura Rice, her characters live, love, work, and die with passions as fierce and brutal as the midday sun, reflections as gentle as the evening breeze, and happiness as beautiful and fleeting as the spring desert in bloom. As in 'The Oblivion Seekers,' Eberhardt's descriptions and voices are as lyrical, harsh, and ultimately captivating as the North African land and people she knew. "This selection of short stories, reportage, and travel journals, which glow with sensuous detail, superbly evokes the life of the desert towns and nomadic peoples of the Saharan region of Morocco and Algeria. As a radical individualist, Eberhardt identified with and defended the oppressed; yet she was a romantic as well, and ambiguous about the 'civilizing' role of France. Today she has become an iconic figure at the center of discussions about gender, race, colonialism, representation, and writing."--Bridge Over Traveled Water Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) was an explorer who lived and traveled extensively throughout North Africa. She wrote of her travels in numerous books and French newspapers, including Nouvelles Algeriennes [Algerian News] (1905), Dans l'Ombre Chaude de l'Islam [In the Hot Shade of Islam] (1906), and Les journaliers [The Day Laborers] (1922).
