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.
为什么是阿富汗? 作者罗瑞·斯图尔特已经穿越了伊朗、尼泊尔、印度等地……在书的前几章,他表述了自己的初衷,阿富汗是他的徒步旅行中所缺的一环,“从荒漠到喜马拉雅,从波斯,希腊到印度文化,从伊斯兰教到佛教从神秘主义的伊斯兰,到军事组织的伊斯兰。”这样一个文化互相...
评分非常震撼的一趟行程,书却出乎意料的平淡。 作为古代文明相当丰富的地区之一,阿富汗现在似乎没什么保留,就连拍个追风筝的人都要去喀什,从这本书里能窥见现在这种情况成因的只鳞片爪。 恶劣的环境,割裂的传承,断层的文化,变幻的时局,种种原因杂交出来的巨兽笼罩在阿富汗...
评分 评分这本书写了Rory Stewart在2002年初徒步从赫拉特走到喀布尔,自西向东横穿阿富汗的旅途。在此之前作者已花了近两年时间从土耳其走到印度境内的喜马拉雅山脚下,中间只略过了阿富汗一段因为当时值塔利班掌权。2002年初作者听说塔利班政权被推翻,立刻从巴基斯坦转回阿富汗,要把...
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。
评分kinda roughly writen.
评分Interesting, but travel writing isn't really his forte.
