Product Description
A teacher with literary aspirations, bored with his native Spain, travels to Morocco. He arrives in the ancient city of Fez, where he learns to appreciate the depth and richness of the local Arab culture. Still yearning to be away from the noise and bustle of city life, however, he moves to a house on the lower slopes of the Atlas mountains, where he hopes to find the space and tranquility that have so long eluded him.

When I took that hasty decision to live in Morocco I did not imagine that, in a country I had toured on several occasions and which had always seemed to be a desert, it could rain so much. Read the first page

A Spaniard tries to lose himself in a small town in Morocco., 29 July 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mimoun (Masks Title) (Paperback)
Very thought provoking. I read it in the original, don't know how good the translation is. Enjoyed his other book "La Larga Marcha" even more. The history of several Spanish families after the civil war and up to the student uprisings in Franco's Spain. Chirbes evokes other times and other places well, and has a great gift of making his charachters, as diverse as they are, very real.
