[...]impedire che le mie parole vaghino nella notte senza che nessuno le ascolti. Senza testimone non avrebbero avuto una voce,ma solo un'eco. Un'eco dentro il mio cuore,dentro questa notte,dentro questo deserto. Mulinelli d'aria dentro i miei polmoni,spiriti ammucchiati su questo tumulo di pietre. Confusione.Un libro denso,da penetrare.Offre molti spunti di riflessione interiore.Da rileggere.
Middenin de woestijn zitten wachten op zwaluwen, zonder te weten wanneer en zelfs óf de verrekte beesten ooit zullen opduiken, dat is niet het leven van de gewone man. En wat het ontbreken van een plot betreft: het verhaal waaiert onbelemmerd uit over de liefdesrituelen in een Noord-Afrikaans dorp en het wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar Bosnische beren tijdens de laatste Balkanoorlog. Tegelijk hebben de verhalen rond het kampvuur iets betoverends.

Un viaggio attraverso il tempo e lo spazio dove l'impegno sociale e la passione vengono con garbo esposte fino alla sua drammatica evoluzione. La guerra, la violenza, l'oppressione non hanno mai fine. Ma c'è sempre qualcuno da qualche parte che riesce a mantenere vivi la speranza e l'impegno.

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you know that you can trust her

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

En wat doet jou weten wat de nachtkomer is?

Het is de helder stralende ster
