Waterman

“From beginning to end, Waterman captivates the reader with unanticipated twists and turns that echo the cadences of the masters—Saint-Exupéry, Camus, and Orwell. Part adventure thriller, part philosophical treatise, and—not least—part romance, this book, set in the Saharan sands of North Africa, offers a path through the desert of our times that quenches the thirst for both hope and love.”


—Marie Hoffman, author of Toward Mutual Recognition: Relational Psychoanalysis and the Christian Narrative





“In this lovely novel, Oskar Freysinger captures and perpetuates the renowned literary tradition of French writers like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Romain Gary, or Joseph Kessel. Like them, he leads us into the eternal fight of humans trying to survive their hostile surroundings without betraying their soul.”


—Jean-Pierre Bringhen, CEO, Bringhen Group





“Waterman is Freysinger’s telling of the timeless story of the human being’s indefatigable quest to create and sustain civilization even in the apparent emptiness of the most arid of deserts. In exquisite poetical language, Freysinger leads us into an extraordinary literary journey which will forever inhabit the reader’s memory.”
