Parmi la jeunesse russe - De Moscou au Caucase
1929
Having dreamt in vain of spending her life sailing in the South Seas, Ella Maillart finds herself in Berlin. She teaches English and pursues her interest in the cinema, working as a stunt woman in the studios where Marlene Dietrich is acting in “The Blue Angel”. She meets Russian émigrés. Twelve years after the Revolution, the Soviet regime remains an enigma. At the age of 26, Ella decides to launch herself into the unknown. She succeeds in obtaining a visa for the USSR and arrives in Moscow in 1930, in a country struck by famine and turmoil. With great freshness she records what she sees. She participates in sports activities and joins a group of young Russians travelling to remote Svanetia, crossing the Caucasus on foot through the Bakshan valley and over the Betcho pass. On return in Paris she meets, at the suggestion of Alain Gerbault, the publisher Charles Fasquelle and tells him about her adventures. He urges her to write about her trip immediately.

Turkestan Solo
1932
Ella Maillart travels to Russian Turkestan which the Soviet revolutionaries are attempting to westernize. On horseback, she crosses Kirghizstan as far as the T'ien Shan range (the Celestial Mountains ). With makeshift skis, she climbs a mountain of 5000 metres on the Chinese border. She explores Tashkent, Samarkand and Bokhara and travels down the Amu Daria. On a camel and in glacial winds she crosses, solo, the Desert of Red Sands to the east of the Aral Sea, avoiding dangerous checkpoints. Her account, “Des Monts célestes aux Sables rouges” appears under the title “Turkestan Solo” in English and in German.

Forbidden Journey – From Peking to Cashmir
1935
Ella Maillart and the English journalist Peter Fleming undertake an astounding trek through some of the least known parts of the globe: From the Koko Nor to Central Asia, via the Tsaidam plateau, the Takla Makan desert, the Tarim basin, and from Kashgar across the Karakoram into Hunza. When they leave Peking, Japan is trying to crush a China devastated by civil war. With Peter Fleming, she maps out an unauthorized itinerary that no westerner seems to have followed since. The book is an account of seven risky months spent in solitary, windswept places where great civilisations once rubbed shoulders, visible to those who know how to decipher bleached bones and ancient ruins. Never again will the western provinces of China be seen in that way. The book was published in 1937 and has since been frequently reprinted, re-read and admired for the courage and talent of its author, for the accuracy of her observations and for her narrative gift.

The Cruel Way
1939
Once again Ella Maillart is on her way to Asia, but she is not alone. Christina, with her real name Annemarie Schwarzenbach, a friend of Klaus and Erika Mann, accompanies her. She possesses exceptional charm and talent but she is a drug addict. Two courageous women, both highly original, find themselves in a difficult situation. An 18 hp Ford car takes the experienced travellers towards Afghanistan, via Istanbul, Trebizond, Tehran and Herat. They face checkpoints, poor roads, petty officials, crowds, deserts. Ella Maillart brings to her account her skill of precise observation, her taste for encounters and her affinity for the nomads, as well as her historical knowledge and the ethnological approach of a great Asia specialist. Written in English.

Gypsy Afloat
1942
We know Ella Maillart as an intrepid traveller exploring the Asian continent far and wide, crossing, in the company of Peter Fleming, a China ruled by warlords, or penetrating the most secret parts of Turkestan. In this book we meet the outstanding navigator and first woman to compete in the Olympic Games in yachting. Counting among her friends Alain Gerbault, she dreamt of a life in the South Seas as a “nomad under sail”. Arriving in England in 1923, she becomes a cabin boy on the barge-yacht Volunteer, joins her friend Miette de Saussure on the Atalante, almost drowns in the Bay of Biscay and returns to England to work as a deck-hand and mate. Clearly, choosing such a way of life was, at that time, quite extraordinary. Written in English.

Cruises and Caravans
1950
An autobiographical narrative commissioned by Ella Maillart's publisher during World War II. The point of departure is Lake Geneva where she first discovered sailing, to be later continued in the Mediterranean. Her passion for this sport brought Ella Maillart to become friends with Alain Gerbault. But the world of the theatre and the cinema are equally appealing to her free and enterprising mind. We meet her in 1930 in Berlin, working in the studios where Marline Dietrich is acting in “Blue Angel”, and in Moscow among film directors and oarsmen. However, the traveller gets the better of the actress, and the Caucasus opens the doors to a new continent. In 1932, she finds herself in Central Asia and crosses the Muslim republics of the USSR. The boldness of this trek, on her own and on camel back, is already on a par with the exploits she will later narrate in Forbidden Journey. Back in Switzerland, she continues to race as a member of the national skiing team. Then she returns to the Far East and comes back overland through deserts and mountains to Kashgar and Cashmir. We also accompany her to Afghanistan and to India where she spends the second World War following the teachings of Ramana Maharishi and Atmananda. Written in English.

''Ti-Puss
1940 – 1945
Do as the cat ! During her stay in South India (1940 - 1945), Ella Maillart was taught by two masters of wisdom, Ramana Maharishi and Atmananda (Krishna Menon). Far removed from a war-torn Europe, she leads a quasi-ascetic life and examines herself in her mirror: A tiger cat whom she baptizes 'Ti-Puss. The remarkable animal reveals to the traveller that there is audacity in wanting to live life in the present, in searching for the meaning of existence in one's everyday pursuits and circumstances. It is 'Ti-Puss who encourages the author to apply the spiritual lessons to the material world. “Because a cat”, says Ella Maillart, “knows how to live the fullness of the present moment.” Written in English.

The Land of the Sherpas
1951
Ella Maillart manages to obtain a rarely accorded travel permit for Nepal, last of the independent Himalayan kingdoms. Unknown and, with few exceptions, closed to foreign travellers until 1949, this country has everything to fascinate her. She spends two months in Kathmandu and undertakes a trek through the Malemtchi valley to the sacred Gosainkund lake. The resulting book, published in English only, contains texts and photographs from this journey.
