Only Asouf, a lone bedouin who cherishes the desert and identifies with its creatures, knows exactly where it is to be found. Now he and the moufflon together come under threat from hunters who have already slaughtered the once numerous desert gazelles.

Harshly critical...discusses at length the mess man has made of the planet...Ibrahim al-Koni has created a moving tale of dreams and nightmares, reflection and violence, greed and gluttony, wonder and terror. Considered by many to be Libya's leading novelist, al-Koni is a master of magical realism and the evocation of the desert. This is his first novel to be translated into English. Hopefully, it will soon be followed by many more.-- "The Journal of Libyan Studies"<br><br>A winning combination of ecological fable, political statement, and lyrical lament for the past.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
