Více o knize

Qais Akbar Omar is 29 years old. His young life coincided with one of the most convulsive decades in Afghan history: civil war, the rise of the Taliban, and the arrival of international troops in 2001. A Fort of Nine Towers - named for the place his parents first sought shelter from war - is the story of Qais' family and their remarkable survival. A group of tenacious and deeply loving people, when the fighting came they were buffeted from one part of Afghanistan to the next 'like kittens in the jaws of a lion', setting up camp on the plains, in the famous Buddha caves at Banyam, and with Kuchi nomads, before returning finally to Kabul, where they belong.

Pořídila jsem si tuto knížku ve slovenštině, ale moc jsem se na ní těšila. A nezklamala. Opět podle skutečných událostí v Afghánistánu v období od vyhnání Ruska ze země přes nástup Talibánu a bin Ládina až po víceméně současný stav společnosti v Afghánistánu. Velmi poutavě a srdceryvně napsaná autobiograficky laděná kniha.
