«El cel protector» is the adventure novel by Paul Bowles, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (384 pages, in Catalan).
The novel narrates a couple's journey through the desert of Tangier, where the harshness of the environment becomes a reflection of their inner emptiness. Their attempt to find and love each other collides with a failure that Bowles describes with lucidity; the outer journey ends up being an inquiry into the absurdity of existence. It is the author's first novel.
The novel originally appeared in English in 1949; this Catalan edition is part of the Butxaca collection.
For those seeking an adventure novel with existential undertones and a strongly marked landscape setting.
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.
