The story of three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky is at once merciless and heartbreaking in its compassion. It etches the limits of human reason and intelligence--perhaps even the limits of human life--when they touch the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Owen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780720605877\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bowles, Paul","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £18.18","offer_id":47953825890481,"sku":"SB-0720605873-C3","price":18.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-sheltering-sky","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
