Set in the years of the discovery of oil in Arabia, The Arab is a spectacular epic novel, a long-term adventure.The fragile peace that sustains two kingdoms is broken when oil wells are found in a border area and foreign powers want to intervene in the exploitation. Tradition and progress, culture and money, construction and destruction are going to confront each other.The young prince Auda could resolve the conflict and seal peace by accepting the hand of the beautiful Lahlah, daughter of an ancient enemy. This is what her head demands, this is what her heart desires. However, his loyalty to his people, which is born from his core, pushes him to take part in a war commanding an army of outcasts. The fight will be wild and perhaps you will emerge from it totally transformed.«With prose as refined as it is salacious, which evokes the cadence of Arabic, Hans Ruesch exhibits mastery in the least common of knowing how to tell good stories. »The New York Times
