"The Sheltering Sky" is a landmark of 20th-century literature, a novel of existential despair that examines the limits of humanity when it touches the unfathomable emptiness of the desert. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Connelly ("A Beautiful Mind," "Requiem for a Dream") gives masterful voice to this American classic.

This fascinating story follows three American travelers, a married couple and their friend, as they find themselves adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II. Along the walkabout, their ignorance of the dangers that surround them peels back the veneer of their lives. The author's life as an expatriate in the North African nation of Morocco informed his rendering of the desert, which itself is a cruel, unforgiving character in the novel.

?Paul Bowles? writing is so extraordinary, so special, ? Ms. Connelly said. ?The landscapes are magical, the characters are questioning so much?it's haunting in a very beautiful way.?

"The Sheltering Sky" is part of Audible's A-List Collection, featuring the world's most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star helped select.
