In January 2002 Rory Stewart walked across Afghanistan-surviving by his wits, his knowledge of Persian dialects and Muslim customs, and the kindness of strangers. By day he passed through mountains covered in nine feet of snow, hamlets burned and emptied by the Taliban, and communities thriving amid the remains of medieval civilizations. By night he slept on villagers' floors, shared their meals, and listened to their stories of the recent and ancient past. Along the way Stewart met heroes and rogues, tribal elders and teenage soldiers, Taliban commanders and foreign-aid workers. He was also adopted by an unexpected companion-a retired fighting mastiff he named Babur in honor of Afghanistan's first Mughal emperor, in whose footsteps the pair was following.
Through these encounters-by turns touching, con-founding, surprising, and funny-Stewart makes tangible the forces of tradition, ideology, and allegiance that shape life in the map's countless places in between.
RORY STEWART is the best-selling author of The Places in Between and The Prince of the Marshes. A former director of the Carr Centre for Human Rights Policy and Ryan Professor of Human Rights at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire for services in Iraq. He is the Conservative member of Parliament for Penrith and The Border, a constituency in Northern Cumbria, where he lives with his wife.
Sad to read in the final page that Barbur the mastiff died of the rack of lamb he had eaten for the first time and for the last time in his whole life, after the long, tough journey across the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan with author
评分Interesting, but travel writing isn't really his forte.
评分作者是个英国人,在2002年塔利班刚倒台以后, 冬天独自徒步穿越阿富汗。一路遭遇各色人等,甚是精彩。2006年纽约时报的10佳推荐书目之一
评分作者作为一个不善文笔的历史学家白瞎了从赫拉特到喀布尔的这段严冬的穿越之旅了,《纽约时报》是瞎了么,这种流水账一般的文笔还能被评为“10佳推荐书目”,不能看经历独特了就不管不顾啊。
评分看过唐师曾的中东系列之后,再看Rory的伊拉克散记,犹如政治课后的社会学盘点,细致真实琐碎,却又不失猎奇和对生命的思考,以及对探寻真相的记者的尊敬。
读完《寻路阿富汗》,意犹未尽,竟不忍放手。作者诚恳又诚实,用平静而朴实的文字写步行穿越阿富汗的遭遇,不渲染,不煽情,却动人心弦,惊心动魄,也有无奈之幽默。文字处处能体现作者对于阿富汗有着“理解之同情”:生活在战乱中几十年的人们,贫穷无知却也虔诚;粗鲁野蛮却...
评分《寻路阿富汗》在历史与现实之间,在文明与战火之间,在信仰与苦难之间……徒步穿行。 2002年初,27岁的作者,英国历史学家罗瑞·斯图尔特,在塔利班撤退六周后到达赫拉特,这个曾经中国、土耳其和波斯商品的老式大市场,如今正销售着中国闹钟、土耳其太阳镜和伊朗苹果汁。他计...
