Al abandonar Oriente Pr xirno, se dedic al trafico de opio en el Paris ocupado por los nazis y acab sus dias tragicamen­te en Tanger.

Pero qui n era en realidad esta mujer fascinante? Gra­cias a su estrecha colaboraci6n con Jacques d'Andurain, hijo menor de la condesa y h roe de la resistencia francesa, Cristina Morat ha podido reconstruir la azarosa vida de una mujer rnarcada por el esc ndalo y olvidada por la historia, que encontr en la aventura su raz n de existir.

«Una historia digna de conocerse, en el mejor cat logo de muje­res audaces y adelantadas de su tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Countess Marga d'Andurain starred in her own adventure novel. Born into a family of the Basque-French bourgeoisie, she was a woman ahead of her time, rebellious and passionate, who traveled to legendary cities such as Cairo, Beirut, Damascus or the inter-war Tanger, where she performed incredible feats.

She spied for the British, managed along with her husband a hotel in the Syrian dessert and resolves to be the first Westerner to enter Mecca. To do so, already divorced, she married a Bedouin and converted to Islam. Her travels to the heart of Arabia were a true nightmare, upon being held in a harem and later jailed in the terrible prison of Jeddah. Upon leaving the Middle East, she devoted herself to the opium trade Nazi-occupied Paris and ended her days tragically in Tangier.

But who really was this fascinating woman? Thanks to her close collaboration with Jacques d'Andurain, youngest son of the Countess and hero of the French resistance, Cristina Morat has been able to reconstruct the perilous life of a woman marked by scandal and forgotten by history, who found in adventure her reason to exist.

"A story worth knowing, among the best ranks of bold women ahead of their time."
