Beschreibung:
At the height of her career, Bell journeyed into the heart of the Middle East retracing the steps of the ancient rulers who left tangible markers of their presence in the form of castles, palaces, mosques, tombs and temples. Among the many sites she visited were Ephesus, Binbirkilise and Carchemish in modern-day Turkey as well as Ukhaidir, Babylon and Najaf within the borders of modern Iraq. Lisa Cooper here explores Bell's achievements, emphasizing the tenacious, inquisitive side of her extraordinary personality, the breadth of her knowledge and her overall contribution to the archaeology of the Middle East. Featuring many of Bell's own photographs, this is a unique portrait of a remarkable life.
Chapter 1: Gertrude Bell: A brief sketchChapter 2: First forays into archaeologyChapter 3: Euphrates journeyChapter 4: Ukhaidir: desert splendourChapter 5: Encounters in the heart of MesopotamiaChapter 6: Bridging past and present: Gertrude Bell and the new Iraq
