Title: The Silence of the Horizons - Beirut - book
Summary :
This is the story of a frantic race against impossible passions. A tormented young man runs away and joins a friend who has gone to accompany some tourists in the Sahara. Traveling through the burning immensity and the ancient cities of the sand, the hero tries to rid himself of the images that haunt him: a disappointed first love, the hideous grimace of a woman who loved him too much, a father despised by society – but was he really guilty? Only the tender attention of the children, when in the evening he improvises as a storyteller, consoles his wandering. By turns a police investigation, a moving introspection, a contemporary tale, this novel takes us to the edge of the desert, in a majestic setting. Carried by the singular and poetic writing of Beyrouk, a great Mauritanian writer, it is also an ode to the beauty of nature and to listening to others.
