Title : Chems Palace - Ali Bécheur - Book
Summary :
The oasis, nestled between rock, desert, and salt marshes, rises up in the heart of the steppe, blazing under a fierce sun. An island of lushness where the narrator, a retired schoolteacher, intends to live out the time he has left. With the "sons" of the oasis, he shares date honey, acrid, syrupy tea, rites, and pilgrimages... A tiny world steeped in its timeless traditions. Why is he led to tell the story of Nadir, a hotel magnate who left empty-handed and returned laden with riches? And who is this Sandra, who transforms a barefoot man into a pasha? A lush and sensual novel in which we learn that whoever escapes from the oasis is condemned to return, at the end of an initiatory journey through the peril of existence.
