The Letters of Gertrude Bell
ISBN: 9788027383177 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Letters of Gertrude Bell is about English writer and traveler Gertrude Bell, who was a great asset to British policymakers due to her experiences in the Middle East. Excerpt: "In the letters contained in this book there will be found many Eastern names, both of people and places, difficult to handle for those, like me, not conversant with Arabic. The Arabic alphabet has characters for which we have no satisfactory equivalents and the Arab language has sounds which we find it difficult to reproduce."

ISBN: 9780936347394 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. E.G. Browne has commented: Bells translations are true poetry of a very high order and, with perhaps the single exception of FitzGeralds paraphrase of The Quatrains of Omar Khayyam, are probably the finest and most truly poetical renderings of any Persian poet ever produced in the English language.

Persian Pictures: From the Mountains to the Sea
ISBN: 9781788319751 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. "Are we the same, I wonder, when all our surroundings, association, acquaintances are changed? I conclude that it is not the person who danced with you at Mansfield St who writes to you today from Persia. Yet there are dregs, English sediment at the bottom of my sherbet, and perhaps they flavour it more than I think. I write to you of Persia: I am not me, that is my only excuse. I am merely pouring out for you some of what I have received in the last two months." When Gertrude Bell's uncle was appointed Minister in Tehran in 1891, she declared that the great ambition of her life was to visit...

Tales from the Queen of the Desert
ISBN: 9781843915478 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A woman far ahead of her time, Gertrude gained a first from Oxford at a time when very few subjects were even open to women. She went on to take an active interest in politics before embarking on her one-woman travels across the Middle East. She chronicled her journeys through Iraq, Persia, Syria and beyond and her important diplomatic work, with characteristic wit and incisiveness. Despite the many achievements of her working life, sadly her personal life was marred by losing the great love of her life, Major Charles Doughty-Wylie, from which she never recovered. She died in 1926 of an...

ISBN: 9781108042031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book of 'Persian Pictures' is the first published work of Gertrude Bell (1868 1926), the celebrated traveller, archaeologist, Orientalist and supporter of Arab independence. She first visited Persia in 1892, when a relative by marriage was British minister there, and published her impressions in a series of essays in 1894. Her subjects range from Roman ruins to Ottoman graves to shopping in the bazaars, and from the bustling life of cities to the isolation of the desert. Having studied the Persian language in preparation for her journey, she was able to enter into the life of the...

The Arab of Mesopotamia
ISBN: 9781633913660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One very determined woman incontestably held her own and more with the great figures of the Middle East in the early twentieth century. That was Gertrude Bell. Highly strung, petulant, aggressive, and gossipy, she occasionally provided tea but rarely sympathy to the extraordinary group of British imperial administrators whose adventures centered on Basra at the head of the Gulf in 1914-1916. Not enough has been made of the Barra cabal as a group rather than individuals. Nor have the machinations of the 'Basra gang' had the attention given to figures such as Lawrence of Arabia and General...
