The Sheltering Sky

The Sheltering Sky Wydawca: Ecco Press Opis produktu "The Sheltering Sky is one of the most original, even visionary, works of fiction to appear in the twentieth century." --Tobias Wolff "It stands head and shoulders above most other novels published in English since World War II." --New Republic In this classic work of psychological terror, Paul Bowles examines the ways in which Americans apprehend other cultures--and the ways in which their incomprehension destroys them. The story of three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky is at once merciless and heartbreaking in its compassion. It etches the limits of human reason and intelligence--perhaps even the limits of human life --when they touch the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the dessert.
