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.

评分我认为这本书还是挺有深度 从他所处的社会背景再到当地的人文历史 不同地区,不同文化程度,不同阶级的人有不同程度的处事方式 人们的思想被禁锢 但又希望冲破黑暗 作者在一方面再呼吁世界和平 不完用暴力解决问题 最喜欢里面的“巴布尔” 他不被人们尊重 虐待他 在登机的前一...
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...

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.
评分平凡琐碎,却又让人印象深刻,还有谁会记得喀布尔与赫拉特的星空,与现在有什么不同吗?
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
评分佩服作者的勇气啊!随笔写得也有些意思!
