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.

"Quirky, unpredictable, often hilarious, Infante's book tells us much about the effect of the Cuban revolution on Cuban literature." - Publishers Weekly With bitter irony, the author tells a story sadly repeated during this century. A dictatorship that silences the intellectuals, a regime that lies and kills, and a propaganda war that has yet to end. One of the best compilations of documents on recent Cuban history.

Drawing lessons from the complex and often contradictory position of white women writing in the colonial period, This unique book explores how feminism and poststructuralism can bring new types of understanding to the production of geographical knowledge. Through a series of colonial and postcolonial case studies, essays address the ways in which white women have written and mapped different geographies, in both the late nineteenth century and today, illustrating the diverse objects (landscapes, spaces, views), the variety of media (letters, travel writing, paintings, sculpture, cartographic maps, political discourse), and the different understandings and representations of people and place.

In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine police, hostile islanders, and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers, convinced that World War II was still being fought and that one day his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This account of those years is an epic tale of the will to survive that offers a rare glimpse of man's invincible spirit, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. A hero to his people, Onoda wrote down his experiences soon after his return to civilization. This book was translated into English the following year and has enjoyed an approving audience ever since.
