Tuareg

by Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa

The Tuaregs are the true sons of the desert. They can survive in the harshest of conditions like nobody else. The noble inmouchar Gacel Sayah, is the master of a large extension of the desert. One day, two fugitives arrive from the north and Gacel, following his ancient and sacred hospitality laws, gives them shelter. However, Gacel doesn't realise that his act of kindness will lead him towards a deadly adventure.

Apasionante

De los libros mas interesantes que he leido es para repetir lectura contiene las costumbres y codigos de honor de los tuareg mezclado con la leyenda de una caravana con valiosas riquezas perdida en el desierto.

Why hasn't this been translated into English?????

I read this book in German when I was living in Europe... it is a WONDERFUL story, and I shipped the book back to the States when I returned, and I still have it... I would so very much like to share it with other people but I can't because it's not available in English... WHY NOT????? You can't sell it if people can't read it... it truly DESERVES to be translated as have been other books by this author.

Protecting traditions - Surviving deserts - Understanding

Tuareg is a really really well written story about a Tuareg inmouchar (venerable leader, somewhat below a Prince among the Tuareg) whose life is turned upside down as he sets out to avenge the abuse of his guests, protected by the millennia-old laws of hospitality and tradition of his people, when the world outside his desert comes to claim them back. With him we drink of the Sahara desert, "The land to be crossed". Together we surprise his enemies in his crusade to restore his honour. We learn to survive within ourselves in this beautiful, unforgiving and misunderstood expanse of the world.

The best way to understand and love the Sahara

A touching story. I felt hot in the desert, cold under the rocks, thirsty, tired. Difficult to put down. One of the very few books that I have read twice!

Soberbio!!

Es uno de los libros más hermosos que se han escrito para ilustrar el modo fe pensar de un pueblo. Tuareg es una aventura épica en la que un verdadero señor del viento defiende su modo de vida contra todo un estado. Este libro se lee de un tirón hasta el final, uno de los mejores finales que he leido en mucho tiempo.
