In the distant future, archeologists, studying the land of Barzakh in the Sahara, extract the ancient consciousness of Gara whose life they trace through the 11th-century deserts of Mauritania to the dystopic future as he searches for freedom and better humanity. This innovative masterpiece symphonizes mysticism, religion, philosophy, and Mauritanian culture into a surreal reflection on the human condition.
Exploring a range of imaginative themes, this collection features exceptional texts that delve into the nature of humanity and existence. From francophone aliens reincarnating literary characters to time-traveling archaeologists seeking a better future, the stories provoke thought on topics like communication across time, a moonless Earth, and the implications of total memory digitization. Moussa Ould Ebnou, a talented Mauritanian author, skillfully dissects contemporary issues while crafting a unique vision of the future.
