Krátky popis
'Asne Seierstad is the supreme non-fiction writer of her
generation' Luke HardingIn her international bestseller The
Bookseller of Kabul, award-winning journalist Asne Seierstad
studied life in Afghanistan before and after the fall of the
Taliban regime in 2001. Now twenty years later, the Taliban is back
in power, and Seierstad returns with The Afghans, a book to help us
understand Afghanistan's past, present and future, told through the
lives of three unforgettable people.In her compelling, intimate and
thought-provoking new book, Seierstad introduces us to three people
whose lives have been shaped by the fall and rise of the Taliban -
Jamila, Bashir and Ariana - as well their families, friends, foes
and co-fighters. Jamila is a women's rights activist, Bashir is a
Taliban commander, Ariana is a law student who had one semester
left when the Taliban came to power.The stories of these three
Afghans encompass love, loss, revolt and war as well as the
everyday rhythms of family life.Through them, we experience and
come to understand the lead-up to the Taliban retaking power in
2021, how the first year of Taliban rule unfolded, and where this
leaves Afghans today, and tomorrow.Praise for Asne Seierstad:'An
