The Sheltering Sky is a landmark of twentieth-century literature. In this intensely fascinating story, Paul Bowles examines the ways in which Americans' incomprehension of alien cultures leads to the ultimate destruction of those cultures.
A story about three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky explores the limits of humanity when it touches the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Цитаты

  • Liamцитирует3 года назад
    it occurred to him that a walk through the countryside was a sort of epitome of the passage through life itself. One never took the time to savor the details; one said: another day, but always with the hidden knowledge that each day was unique and final, that there never would be a return, another time.

    The excitement they felt at having an unknown young man living in the house, particularly if their husband were sleeping with him, was more than they could endure.

    In spite of these obstacles, the novel was delivered in a state of good health, and now, after fifty years, is in a livelier condition than its author.
    —Paul Bowles
