Publisher's Synopsis
This short story, 'Alexandra David Neels' is the fourth in this writer's series of short stories about great women in history. The previous short stories now in published form, were; the story of Sophie (Mary) Pierce (Lady Heath) - in the publication 'The Silver Lining', 'Tina Turner', 'Sinead O'Connor' (Sinead).This story is primarily about Alexandra, as she was the inspirational influence as a result of which I set out to write her story. However, when travelling in her footsteps the writer discovered many other 'treasures' in the form of indigenous beliefs, major religions and their motivations designed by wise men and women in order to make matters of life and death more meaningful and lifestyles more perfect. This writer has included aspects of these so that the reader can be better informed with regard to the beliefs and the aspirations not only of Alexandra but also of those that she encountered and studied. The research involved, led to the outlining, and summarising of, some very complex belief systems. Alexandra's personal journey and mission focused mainly on the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan region.
