## Description

'And then one day a solitary figure appeared, moving toward them across the lifeless plain from the west. One man on a camel... ' Paul Bowles's unforgettable short stories portray people facing hostile environments and the innate savagery of humanity. These three unbearably tense tales from sun-drenched and brutal climes tell of vengeance, abandonment, violence and cruelty enjoyed and suffered, in a surreal realm of horror. This book includes The Delicate Prey , A Distant Episode and The Circular Ruins .
