Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A winning combination of ecological fable, political statement, and lyrical lament for the past. --Kirkus Reviews

Al-Koni, Libya's best-known novelist, demonstrates his signature version of magic realism in this moving short novel, ably blending reality, fantasy, and mysticism. Readers of Garcia Marquez and Allende will want to know about al-Koni. --Booklist

Reseña del editor:

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.
