Au-delà de conflits – l’Algérie dans les écrits d’Isabelle Eberhardt : « J’ai voulu posséder ce pays, et ce pays m’a possédée »
Beyond Conflicts – Algeria in the Writings of Isabelle Eberhardt: “I wanted to own this country, and that country possessed me”

Summary/Abstract: The wars and upheavals of the Arab world lead to a stereotyped vision of intolerant countries and generating religious radicalism. Contemporary violence should not lead to a unilateral and dark vision of a part of the world condemned to uninterrupted conflicts. Different issues are equally possible – the life and work of Isabelle Eberhardt provide an example of wholeness and inner peace lived “in the warm shadow of Islam”. Becoming nomadic and converted to Islam, the writer fully adhered to the customs, beliefs and ways of life known in Algeria and transmitted their image in her writings. There was no conflict that would have manifested itself in the public or private sphere, the consensus was not necessary.
