Synopsis
The moufflon, a wild sheep prized for its meat, continues to survive in the remote mountain desert of southern Libya. Only Asouf, a lone bedouin who cherishes the desert and identifies with its creatures, knows exactly where it is to be found. Now he and the moufflon together come under threat from hunters who have already slaughtered the once numerous desert gazelles. The novel combines pertinent ecological issues with a moving portrayal of traditional desert life and of the power of the human spirit to resist.

À propos de l?auteur
One of the Arab world’s most important writers, Ibrahim al-Koni has been called a master of magical realism and the evocation of the desert. He has distinguished himself for being brilliantly able to create so many ramifications around the simple world of the desert in Western Libya, proving as few have that human nature and the human condition are the same everywhere. He now lives in Europe. This is his first novel to be translated into English.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good +. Sami Burhan (cover) (illustrateur). First (English). The hero of this story, Asouf, lives alone in the desert as a shepherd. He guards the mystical waddan (aka -moufflon -wild sheep) and an archaeological treasure. His Islamic faith and his ecological sense hold him to this pattern - even under pressure. 136 pages - plus book adverts - with a small glossary. Read about : Hasawna Mountains, Fatiha, qibla and Wadi of Gazelles. UNillustrated. Cond : Paper wrapper is rust coloured with white lettering. Front cover illustration looks like two large letters in a sand painting. Tight, bright, clean. Some wear at fore corners. Sticker of p/o verso front cover. Excellent reading copy. Quote (p. 70) : " Asouf would sit on a rock above the well, pour a little water for them to drink, and gaze at their bodies, withered and scrawny, listless and gaunt. Where was the robust spirit that ._._._. ." Size: 8vo. N° de réf. du vendeur 007789
