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 Sahara desert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51527236780320,"sku":"NEW0062351486","price":17.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91aB0SJDe5L.jpg?v=1777227404","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-sheltering-sky-a-dark-postwar-classic-of-alienation-and-existential-terror-in-north-africa-0062351486","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
