图书描述

Freya Stark—traveler, explorer, Arabist, and woman of letters—began the extraordinary adventures that would glamorize her—and would catapult her into public life for the next sixty years—in 1927. And with the publication of The Valley of the Assassins in 1934, her legend was launched.

Leaving behind a miserable family life, Freya set out, at the age of thirty-four, to explore remote and dangerous regions of the Middle East. She was captured in 1927 by the French military police after penetrating their cordon around the rebellious Druze. She explored the mountainous territory of the mysterious Assassins of Persia, became the first woman to explore Luristan in western Iran, and followed ancient frankincense routes to locate a lost city. Admired by British officialdom, her knowledge of Middle Eastern languages and culture aided the military and diplomatic corps, for whom she conceived an effective propaganda network during WWII.

But Stark’s indomitable spirit was forged by contradictions, her high-profile wanderings often masking deep insecurities. A child of privilege, she grew up in near poverty; she longed for love, but consistently focused on the wrong men. This is a brilliant and balanced biography—filled with sheikhs, diplomats, nomad warriors and chieftains, generals, would be lovers, and luminaries. Author Jane Geniesse digs beneath the mythology to uncover a complex, quixotic, and controversial woman.

这群流连于阿拉伯沙漠的英国人，多少都是英国社会的outsider。当34岁的Freya把苦闷的家庭生活和爱情抛在身后，追随TEL和GB的脚步踏上中东的时候，她几乎一无所有，甚至没受过多少正规教育，心中只有童年起对阿拉伯的向往和不再让任何人摆布自己的命运的决心。她不断挑战禁忌和死亡，绝不循规蹈矩，这让她成为著作等身的旅行家，也使她失去了成为外交官的机会，并可能因此失去了可以与她终身相伴的人。她虽然相貌平平但谈吐机智，极富魅力并工于心计；既爱慕虚荣浮华又能坦然接受各种肮脏恶劣的环境；既洞悉人性，同情阿拉伯民族的遭遇又对女性抱着各种偏见。随着战后英帝国式微和地区冲突不断，她为巴勒斯坦的阿拉伯人所做的努力回应者寥寥，于是她淡出了阿拉伯地区，但仍然旅行到八十岁后，始终在记录她对生活和世界的探索。四星半
