br. Il diario inedito di una guerra mai raccontata così. Un racconto in presa diretta, senza mediazioni, il diario di un uomo che ha vissuto per oltre un anno in uno dei peggiori teatri di guerra del pianeta. Responsabile degli approvvigionamenti per i contingenti schierati in Afghanistan, l'autore di questa toccante e vivida testimonianza descrive le difficoltà del suo lavoro, i viaggi quotidiani all'insegna del rischio di attentati, la vita dentro le strutture militari in compagnia di persone di tutto il mondo, gli incontri brevi ma al tempo stesso intensi con la popolazione locale. In un luogo dannatamente ostile e pericoloso, le precauzioni non sembrano mai sufficienti. Ogni spostamento è attentamente programmato e sorvegliato. Ma, purtroppo, non tutto va sempre per il verso giusto. Gli stranieri vengono presi di mira e sono spesso vittime di feroci assalti o attentati kamikaze. Tra paura e forti emozioni, in un mondo sconvolto da un conflitto che sembra non finire mai, Un anno in Afghanistan è una lettura imperdibile per chi voglia capire fino in fondo cos'è la guerra, raccogliendo elementi e riflessioni che TV e giornali non ci hanno mai proposto.

brossura «Sorrido ma col cuore incerto. I nostri vecchi vestiti e il nostro vecchio gommone sono diventati l'assurda casa per i pesci sott'acqua! L'unica vita che avevamo l'abbiamo giocata, le nostre parole ora infiammano da lontano. Non sono da solo, non sono orfano, intorno e me sento i suoni di tutti coloro che non sanno di essere orfani.» Due famiglie per una sola persona sono un fardello molto difficile da portare: vuol dire avere più affetti, più ricordi, ma anche più sofferenze. Due società così lontane, così sconosciute l'una all'altra, così diverse tradizionalmente e mentalmente, possono essere tanto per una persona sola. In queste pagine, Gholam Najafi costruisce nuovi collegamenti tra le sue due vite, dei ponti tra il suo passato e il suo presente, che sono inevitabilmente ponti tra l'Oriente e l'Occidente, tra l'Afghanistan, terra natia, e l'Italia, terra adottiva.

Libro interamente in inglese sui Talebani e il loro modo di governare sull'Afghanistan. Sottolineato a matita all'interno, ben conservato.
"Hamida Ghafour and her family fled Kabul in 1981 when the Russians invaded. In this memoir, she tells how she went back in 2003 as a journalist to cover the country's post-9/11 reconstruction." "As Hamida is drawn deeper into her country's present, other members of her family come to life for us - her great-grandfather the Sufi mystic, her poetess grandmother who urged women to unveil, her great-uncle who wrote the first democratic constitution, her brave cousin Bahodine who paid for his views with his life. Her parents and their student days of hamburgers, hunting trips with American hippies and searches for the perfect pomegranate. In her family's past she finds the story of Afghanistan itself." "She finds its future in people like the Midwestern beautician teaching women a new kind of independence, her cousin the parliamentary candidate and the archaeologist digging for his country's lost civilization - in the form of a giant Sleeping Buddha." 336p.bibliography. index.
