Synopsis "Las Damas de Oriente: Grandes Viajeras por los Países Árabes (Best Seller)"

Las apasionantes biografías de unas fascinantes mujeres que abandonaron el confort de sus mansiones por una vida nómada, y en ciudades como Bagdad, El Cairo, Damasco o Estambul aún se las recuerda. La lectura de Las mil y una noches despertó en un buen número de damas británicas, aristocráticas y aventureras, la fascinación por un Oriente de harenes, bazares, caravanas y nómadas beduinos. A comienzos del siglo XIX viajar más allá de El Cairo o Estambul era una peligrosa aventura: el pillaje, los despóticos pachás turcos, las epidemias, las duras travesías por el desierto, echaban atrás a los viajeros más curtidos. Este libro recoge las apasionantes vidas de unas mujeres atraídas por el mundo árabe que dejaron su huella en Oriente Próximo: lady Mary Montagu, la primera occidental en acceder al interior de los harenes otomanos, la excéntrica lady Hester Stanhope, la hermosa lady Jane Digby, que vivió una apasionada historia de amor con un jefe beduino o, ya entrado el siglo XX, otras audaces exploradoras, arqueólogas y espías al servicio del Imperio Británico como Gertrude Bell, que en calidad de secretaria para Oriente ayudó a trazar las fronteras del actual Irak, la incansable Freya Stark y la famosa escritora de novelas policíacas Agatha Christie. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The thrilling biographies of fascinating women who abandoned the comfort of their mansions for a nomadic life, and are still remembered in cities like Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus, and Istanbul. The Thousand and One Nights brought a good number of adventurous, aristocratic British women a fascination with an Orient full of harems, bazaars, caravans, and Bedouin nomads. At the beginning of the 19th century, traveling farther than Cairo or Istanbul was a dangerous adventure: muggings, tyrannical Turkish pashas, epidemics, and difficult journeys through the desert turned back even the most seasoned travelers. This book gathers the thrilling stories of the women attracted by the Arabic world who left their mark on the Near East: Lady Mary Montagu, the first Westerner to gain access to the inside of an Ottoman harem; eccentric Lady Hester Stanhope; beautiful Lady Jane Digby, who had a passionate love story with a Bedouin chief; or, at the beginning of the 20th century, other daring explorers, archaeologists and spies for the British Empire such as Gertrude Bell who, as Secretary of the Orient, helped draw the borders of what is now Iraq; the tireless Freya Stark; and the famous crime writer Agatha Christie.
