沙漠化為一口井：我所知的三毛的撒哈拉

Description

一場來自沙漠的深度探索，

一段從梅如卡到西撒的追尋。

「世界上沒有第二個撒哈拉了，

也只有對愛它的人，

它才向你呈現它的美麗和溫柔。」

──三毛

連綿不絕的重重沙丘、無比壯闊的瑰麗夕陽……

小鎮阿尤恩、駱駝頭骨、白沙漠、屋頂空了一個大洞的家……

嚮往沙漠的人肯定知道或讀過三毛的《撒哈拉歲月》，廣大的三毛迷永遠懷抱著總有一天要踏上撒哈拉的想望。

透過唯有久居當地才得以進行的實地探查與深度訪談，日日真實在撒哈拉生活的異族媳婦蔡適任細細鋪陳了大漠中的食衣住行，並從生活觀察與日常積累中推敲出許多當年的西撒點滴。除了詳實解釋各種撒哈拉傳統物件的文化意涵，她也將三毛永恆的文字放入撒哈拉文化脈絡中，從完全不一樣的沙漠視角解讀、剖析。

即便迷人的撒哈拉如今飽受氣候變遷之苦，西撒主權問題仍然爭議不休，但在一個個活生生的有趣故事中，不論是撒哈拉或「三毛的撒哈拉」，都不再只是滿溢異國風情的他鄉。

撒哈拉理解一切，承接所有。
