I enjoyed reading this book. The language,the vocabulary, the pictures, the philosophy, everything was interesting and close to perfect. I totally disliked the end as I thought it was not consistent with the events nor the character, and some other events that don't make sense, but overall I think it is worth reading.The story for me was a 3/5.

Ending is nice and funny (in a wicked way), but book itself is rather pointless, repetitive and a little boring.
I read this book over 20 years ago, on the sandy dunes of the Netherlands island Schiermonnikoog. It was just as fascinating to read it now, as it was then. The story of this book has haunted me for years and I had to read it again, hoping that the ending might have changed, that I might have remembered it wrong. A wonderful read, that will take you on a journey, introduce you to the Tuaregs and their customs, and will make you think about your choices in your daily life, even though you won't
What a wonderful book!Welcome to the desert, home of the Tuareg - where, despite decolonization and political chaos disrupting the cities, tradition and a simple lifestyle mean everything. A world ruled by an unstoppable love for God and acceptance of his will, no matter what. A protagonist, Gacel, who is confused about planes and cars and does neither know nor care about the political borders of the country and whether the Africans or the French are currently ruling. A world where hospitality
One of Gazel's guests is murdered, and so he must fight to fix the wrongs according to his ancestor's ways. His journey takes him from the middle of the Sahara Desert to a wasteland from which no one returns to a foreign city beside the sea. In this story, tradition clashes with the modern life as good intentions clash with corruption. Upholding either law only seems to add to the chaos of Gazel's solitary war.Gazel is a hero with a flaw, which of course makes this story a tragedy. He has a lot
I was moved to read this book while following the unfolding conflict in Mali, that mentions the Tuareg ethnic group. I author, who lived in the Sahara has been very successful in describing them: their beliefs, culture and superhuman strength to survive in the wilderness and in the political scenary post-colonization of West Africa.Although it does not mention the countries where the story takes place, I suppose they are Mali (formerly French Sudan) and Senegal, which have been unified in the
