The Desert and the Sown - Bell, Gertrude
Born to transcend the social constraints of Victorian England, Gertrude Bell left the comforts of her privileged life for the unconventional -- but thrilling -- world of the Middle East. A skilled archeologist, historian, and linguist, Bell traveled the world and wrote compelling, perceptive accounts of her daring journeys. One of the first women to graduate from Oxford, she traveled to Persia and became passionately drawn to the Arab people, the language, and their architecture.
A magnificent account of personal discovery and political history, this intriguing narrative traces Bell's 1905 sojourn through Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine. The Desert and the Sown is considered to be one of her masterpieces. With an eye for vivid detail, "the female Lawrence of Arabia" offers intriguing images from her often dangerous "wild travel" through regions never seen by another foreign woman.
