太阳东升西落着,而星星却是永远停驻在空中,在每个夜晚,发亮。 法齐娅•库菲就是一颗发亮着的星星,用自己的能量使其发出耀眼的光芒。 读毕《我不要你死于一事无成:给女儿的17封告别信》,我震惊于当时阿富汗国家政局的战乱,也惊诧于阿富汗民族对待女性的不公,更惊叹于...
评分法齐娅的一生就是个传奇,这本书揭露了阿富汗极端主义的丑陋面目,对于他父亲对他母亲的家暴如果我是作者绝不会还在此书赞扬自己的父亲,为了多娶一个老婆竟然可以休掉自己大老婆,可见阿富汗男人把自己的欲望看的多至高无上,还有因为母亲没有把饭粒分开而被施暴,我真心佩服...
评分阿富汗,应该是一提起就让人觉得惊心动魄的国家之一吧。在这之前,虽然在电视新闻里听到过诸如塔利班、基地组织、什叶派的词,这个国家对我而言,就是永远出现在新闻联播后10分钟水深火热里的那一类:战乱、贫穷、宗教争端。 这本书也让我想起不久前看的有关朝鲜的一本书——...
评分 评分发现这本书是一早浏览蒋方舟的微博时,看到她说看这本书“从头哭到尾”并力荐。 于是花了一个下午的时间读完,心潮澎湃。 这是一本自传,法齐娅•库菲,阿富汗唯一一位女性国会议长的自传,从她童年的生活讲起,到一路目睹、参与阿富汗的起起落落,到艰难而执着...

In this courageous memoir, Fawzia Koofi, Afghanistan's most popular female politician, gives us her first-hand account of Afghan history through the rule of the Mujahedeen and Taliban, her experiences of the Afghanistan War, and the effects of these events on the lives of women in Afghanistan. In writing Letters to My Daughters, Fawziahas created a fresh take on Afghan society and Islam, and a gripping account of a life lived under the most harrowing of circumstances.
Fawziais the nineteenth child of twenty-three in a family with seven wives. Her father was an incorruptible politician strongly attached to Afghan tradition. When he was murdered by the Mujahedeen, Fawziais illiterate mother escaped with her children and decided to send the ten-year-old Fawziato school. As the civil war raged, Fawziadodged bullets and snipers to attend class, determined to be the first person in her family to receive an education.
Fawziawent on to marry a man she loved, and they had two cherished daughters, Shohra and Shaharzad. Sadly, the arrival of the Taliban spelled an end to Fawzia's freedom. Outraged and deeply saddened by the injustice she saw around her, and by the tainting of her Islamic faith, she discovered politics for herself, following in her father's footsteps. Tragically, this choice has lead to security threats to her life by Islamic extremists. Thus, Letters to My Daughtersis not only a record of her life, but also acts as a literal letter through which Fawzia can pass on her wisdom about justice and dignity to her daughters, not knowing for how long she will survive such attacks.
Aim for the stars. That way, if you fall, you land on the tops of the trees. If not then all you see is the bottom of the branches.
