Sirte Coast

The Shore of Sirte Book Description: An allegorical war that has been going on for centuries between two dream-countries and a sea that separates the countries from each other and is ready to foam at any moment... The Shore of Sirte is the course of the assimilation of the stagnation that collapsed as a result of a declared but hesitant ceasefire, full of uncertainties, and the majestic silence of an observation tower. While this lyrical and surreal narrative, which won Julien Gracque the Goncourt Prize that he refused the year it was published, was subjected to a parallel reading by literary authorities with Dino Buzzati's Tatar Desert, one of the masterpieces of Italian literature; the quiet atmosphere and anxious anticipation that pervades the plot with its incense; It creates a "magical historical" projection of the contradiction of the exotic and the ordinary, the civilized and the barbarian, emotion and reason.
