Orientalist, opera singer, journalist, writer, explorer, Buddhist… Alexandra David-Néel has lived a thousand lives! Now, on the threshold of her existence, the woman who was the first Westerner to enter Lhasa still has many secrets to unveil…

As she enters a long and serene agony, watched over by Marie-Madeleine, her employee and confidant, the great adventurer looks back one last time on her long and incredible existence: from her tumultuous youth to the fantastic and perilous journey to Lhassa, the Forbidden City, through her meeting with the man of her life, Alexandra David-Néel crosses the century with unfailing energy. A true hymn to adventure and non-conformism…

Based on Marie-Madeleine Peyronnet’s account 10 Years With Alexandra David-Néel, this work, written and illustrated by Frédéric Campoy and Mathieu Blanchot, is far more than an illustrated version of her book: it is ten years of collaboration and relationship between Alexandra and Marie-Madeleine that come to life before our eyes. The authors perfectly convey the characters and humor through exciting dialogues and vibrant graphics.
