Le Clézio: desert

The long novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Le Clegio, a brilliantly beautifully painted work of the culture and history of the desert peoples. The story of the nomadic boy in the Sahara Desert, whose empire takes over the natural world, and of the girl living in a modern city full of poverty. The desert, in contrast to cold material civilization, is a world of hot life and harsh yet mysterious, controlled by nature and mythology. The work, with the writer's worldview condensing on poetic style, highlights the song-long flow of desert peoples living, as well as the disturbing breath of modern life in cities. A Hongsong-song translator, who translated Le Clegio's three squabbling city-sil, re-scrupulous translations.
