Tuareg tells the story of the last of his line of brave, Gacel the Hunter, a targuí capable of sacrificing all to comply with the ancestral laws of his people, the proud Tuaregs that reign in the Sahara Desert. An event of the fate will change his life and plunge him into a path of difficulties and fight to defend what he believes in.
This masterful adventure novel (chosen by the prestigious German magazine Dier Spiegel as one of the five to read in life) is a song at the end of an era in which the man was still connected to nature, and a criticism of the most horrible of civilization and many of the nonsense that this entails. A sublime reflection on the sense of existence and the most important and wonderful thing this contains.
The desert is the place of silence where the echoes of oneself, a seemingly soft and fragile nature that kills those who are not able to hear and understand its rhythms. Only Vázquez-Figueroa can mix action and suspense, momen-tous reflections with description unsurpassed from an extreme environment that he knows so well.
Gacel is the quintessential of a hero willing to sacrifice what if loves more for his ideals, because without ideals and without principles the dignity of man disappears and only evil remains. And evil sows evil.
