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.
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.

評分 評分读完《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...
平凡瑣碎,卻又讓人印象深刻,還有誰會記得喀布爾與赫拉特的星空,與現在有什麼不同嗎?
评分Interesting, but travel writing isn't really his forte.
