In the winter of 1906, Gertrude Bell undertook an often dangerous journey through Greater Syria - Damascus, Jerusalem, Beirut, Antioch and Alexandretta. Her portrait of the landscapes, people and customs of a part of the world that very few had explored at the time is now a classic of travel writing. It illuminates a region that continues to preoccupy us today as well as portraying the unique life of a remarkable, still-controversial, and ultimately tragic woman.
