Product Description
Review
I have been an admirer of Alberto Vazquez-Figueroa's books since I was a teenager. He has been always my literary idol, and the inspiration to become a journalist, a war correspondent and finally a successful novelist. (Arturo Perez Reverte, International bestselling author of The Queen of the South.) Vazquez-Figueroa is one of the best Spanish writers of our time, and certainly the most commercially successful! (Jose Manuel Lara, President and founder of the Grupo Planeta, the largest publishing group of Spain and Latin America.)
Product Description
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.

A travel to the Tuareg's world, Oct 24 2011
By Bernardo Mello - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tuareg (Paperback)
I read the Spanish version of this book. 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.
Listmania!
