En junio de 1939, Annemarie Schwarzenbach emprende un viaje con su amiga Ella Maillart, recorriendo los Balcanes, Turquía, Irán y Afganistán en un Ford. En medio del estallido de la guerra en Europa, Schwarzenbach escribe sobre paisajes y sociedades orientales, reflejando su anhelo de fuga y felicidad. Este libro es una selección de esos textos, que nos adentran en el mundo de esta fascinante autora, descrita por Thomas Mann como un «ángel devastado».
Annemarie Minna Renée Schwarzenbach was a Swiss writer, journalist and photographer. Her bisexual mother brought her up in a masculine style, and her androgynous image suited the bohemian Berlin society of the time, in which she indulged enthusiastically. Her anti-fascist campaigning forced her into exile, where she became close to the family of novelist Thomas Mann. She would live much of her life abroad as a photo-journalist, embarking on many lesbian relationships, and experiencing a growing morphine addiction. In America, the young Carson McCullers was infatuated with Schwarzenbach, to whom she dedicated Reflections in a Golden Eye. Schwarzenbach reported on the early events of World War II, but died of a head injury, following a fall.
