Soberbio!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
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.

The best way to understand and love the Sahara,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
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!

By
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
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,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
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.

Tuareg... para los apasionados del desierto,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
El silencio del desierto, la hospitalidad de los tuareg, el honor. Para mi el desierto es un lugar misterioso y seductor que nunca se descubrira por completo, leer Tuareg me permitio transportarme hasta el Sahara. Ebano es una novela del mismo autor que se desarrollan en el desierto

A travel to the Tuareg's world,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This is the kind of book that makes you travel to a distinct world. You fell like a companion of the main character, an Imochar (a Tuareg noble), in his wandering in the desert and cities of Algeria, seeking for revenge and justice.It is a melancholic book in the sense that it is about a human group and values fated to vanishing in the present world. Through the book you get to know this proud people were women has more freedom than among any other muslin groups. Simultaneous, it is one of the last societies with a rigid cast system, which includes slavery. The story is very absorbing, inspiring, and full of surprises. In my point of view, the book is devalued by the very last sentence. I would spare this last touch of irony. But I very much enjoyed the book until that moment.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Estupendo,
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Este libro me encantó, por su proeza y por su austeridad. Se lo he recomendado a varios amigos míos y a ninguno lo ha decepcionado.

Cultura e ética no deserto,
By Marcia S. Carvalho "marcar@sercomtel.com.br" (Londrina, Paraná Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tuareg (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Este romance contrasta valores culturais distintos, éticas diferentes e paisagens diferenciadas no que pensamos ser apenas um deserto de dunas. Mas o romance Tuareg é muito mais.Gacel aprendeu com seu pai a não matar mais do que uma gazela, mesmo que demore três dias para alcançá-la, pois ele se refaria depois destes três dias, mas nada devolveria a vida de uma gazela morta inutilmente. Os "homens azuis" têm um significado muito profundo de hospitalidade. Aquele que é acolhido sob sua tenda tem a vida e a liberdade garantidas em todos os sentidos. E é exatamente por isso não ter acontecido que Gacel sai numa busca da recuperação de seu hóspede e da justiça do "olho por olho" para o outro hóspede que perdeu a vida. E ele vaga pelas mais diversas paisagens do deserto, aplicando a sua ira aos que lhe tiraram a honra da hospitalidade. O final, surpreendente, eu deixo para os futuros leitores. Mas o conhecimento minucioso do ambiente, a comparação de culturas tão diferentes, e o determinismo dos ocidentalizados em relação à vida da cultura tuareg traz à tona uma reflexão e um incômodo sobre o destino semelhante a outros povos de culturas tão diferentes. Toda a sabedoria acumulada por tantos séculos se esvai diante de riquezas no subsolo (ou na superfície). |
