«El cielo protector» is a novel by American writer Paul Bowles, published by Punto De Lectura in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Port and Kit Moresby, an American married couple who travel to North Africa after World War II with their friend Tunner. During their journey through the Sahara desert, the vastness of the landscape and solitude heighten their tensions and rootlessness, in a reflection on alienation, the search for meaning, and the fragility of human existence.
The original novel, «The Sheltering Sky», was published in 1949; this Spanish edition is a translation of that work and belongs to the Bolsillo collection (Suma de Letras).
A contemporary work of fiction for readers interested in travel literature and stories with an existential backdrop.
Paul Frederic Bowles was an American composer, author, and translator. He became associated with the Moroccan city of Tangier, where he settled in 1947 and lived for 52 years to the end of his life.
