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.
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...
評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...

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kinda roughly writen.
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。
评分作者作為一個不善文筆的曆史學傢白瞎瞭從赫拉特到喀布爾的這段嚴鼕的穿越之旅瞭,《紐約時報》是瞎瞭麼,這種流水賬一般的文筆還能被評為“10佳推薦書目”,不能看經曆獨特瞭就不管不顧啊。
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
