具体描述
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...
评分 评分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...
