The Immortal Journeys of Isabelle Eberhardt
In Hédi A. Jaouad's new biography, the legendary adventuress emerges as a radically modern figure—crossing boundaries of gender, faith, empire, and identity.

La poésie de Hend Jouda, des éclats de douleur à partager avec le monde
La poétesse gazaouie Hend Jouda, qui vit désormais au Caire, écrit dans « Gaza, Ô ma joie » le malaise généralisé face à la défaite retentissante d’un monde qui ne peut plus échapper au miroir palestinien. Mais aussi la passion amoureuse et les élans du désir inassouvi.
