Isabelle Eberhardt

Isabelle Eberhardt (1991)

La historia real de la exploradora, periodista y escritora Isabelle Eberhardt, originaria de Suiza. Se mudó a Annaba en Argelia en 1897 con su madre, quien prefería vivir en los barrios argelinos que en los barrios europeos que odiaba, y se convirtió al Islam. Su estilo de vida conmocionó a los colonialistas franceses: vestía como un hombre, frecuentaba cafés y estancos. Fascinada por el desierto, viajó por el Sahara bajo la identidad de Si Mahmoud, publicó artículos y libros sobre el mundo que descubrió en el sur de Argelia, criticando duramente a las autoridades coloniales. Al llegar a El Oued, los soldados le impiden continuar su viaje. Ella desobedece y escucha a los agentes disparando a prisioneros árabes. Detenida, fue acusada de espionaje y expulsada de Argelia. Se casó con Slimane, un suboficial musulmán en 1901. Habiéndose convertido en francesa gracias a este matrimonio, ahora podía residir en Argelia.
