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.
对着卫星地图看书的感觉挺不错,翻译也还行,绝大多数书中出现的地名都比较容易在GE上找到。 不过,有三段书中写得特别难走的路,从卡门集过贾姆到恰赫恰兰,从卡特利什到雅卡乌兰、从班得阿米尔湖到沙伊丹,在卫星图看也是相当危险,过夜的小村子也无法准确的标出来。 Herat M...
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...

評分今年的英国议会大选,我关注的罗瑞·斯图尔特(Rory Stewart)不出意料地击败对手,顺利连任议员。在很多观察家眼里,再次当选说明他在通向荣任英国首相或外交大臣的长长阶梯上又前进了一步。五年前罗瑞·斯图尔特突然放弃他在哈佛的教职和学院生活,作为保守党候选人参加英国...

看過唐師曾的中東係列之後,再看Rory的伊拉剋散記,猶如政治課後的社會學盤點,細緻真實瑣碎,卻又不失獵奇和對生命的思考,以及對探尋真相的記者的尊敬。
评分如果自己不能去阿富汗,這本書可以帶你去阿富汗走一圈,瞭解他們的人文,曆史,和地理。
评分平凡瑣碎,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
