Books by Ibrahim Al-Koni

The concluding volume of Ibrahim al-Koni's Oasis trilogy, begun in New Waw, Saharan Oasis and The Puppet, The Scarecrow completes a tale of greed and corruption that reveals the hollowness of tyrants.

By the award-winning author of The Puppet, this novel weaves myth and contemporary life into a tale of a desert community whose nomadic way of life is irrevocably changed by an unpredictable turn of events.

This mythic tale of greed and political corruption by award-winning novelist Ibrahim al-Koni tells a gripping, expertly crafted story of bloody betrayal and revenge inspired by gold lust and an ancient love affair.

Gold Dust is a classic story of the brotherhood between man and beast, the thread of companionship that is all the difference between life and death in the desert. It is a story of the fight to endure in a world of limitless and waterless wastes, and a parable of the struggle to survive in the most dangerous landscape of all: human society.
