«El cielo protector» is the novel by American writer Paul Bowles, published by RBA in hardback (284 pages, in Spanish).
A New York couple, Port and Kit Moresby, travel to North Africa after the Second World War with their friend Tunner. In the Sahara, an alien culture and a hostile environment erode their relationship and push them to the limit. El cielo protector moves between the travel novel and an existentialist reflection on alienation and cultural clash.
El cielo protector was originally published in 1949 as The Sheltering Sky. The 1992 RBA edition, no. 15 of Narrativa Actual, includes the translation by Aurora Bernárdez.
For readers of twentieth-century American literary classics and travel novels set in North Africa.
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.
