In "Part One of Her Memoirs," compiled and edited by her physician, Charles Lewis Merion, Lady Hester Stanhope takes us on an exciting journey into her own world, a world in which "the passion for adventure" blends with "the depth of human experience." Through her "speeches and memories," we learn about an exceptional woman who challenged the norms of her time and chose to live a different life, far from the noise and restrictions of British society. We follow her exciting journey from the aristocratic salons of London to the Mount Lebanon community in the early nineteenth century, where she settled among its people and was influenced by their culture and customs. Lady Hester's Diaries provides us with a unique vision of the Middle East in that period, shedding light on the "political and social transformations" that the region witnessed.
