نبذة الناشر:Lady Anne Blunt, granddaughter of Byron, was the first Western woman to journey into Central Arabia and enter the citadel of Hail, home of the ruling house of Ibn Rashid. She rescued the pure strain of the Arab horse from near oblivion, set up the famous Crabbet Arabian stud in ...England, and translated the verse of some of the timeless pre-Islamic Arabian writers. She suffered in dignified silence as her temperamental, impossibly handsome husband, the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, threw himself headlong into a succession of scandalous amatory liaisons. Anne suffered the torments of a woman scorned, and the agonies of a wife whose hopes of producing a much-wanted son and their were repeatedly dashed. She transformed her private pain into a tireless quest to save the Arab thoroughbred.
