为什么是阿富汗? 作者罗瑞·斯图尔特已经穿越了伊朗、尼泊尔、印度等地……在书的前几章,他表述了自己的初衷,阿富汗是他的徒步旅行中所缺的一环,“从荒漠到喜马拉雅,从波斯,希腊到印度文化,从伊斯兰教到佛教从神秘主义的伊斯兰,到军事组织的伊斯兰。”这样一个文化互相...
评分 评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...
评分 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...

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.
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

评分作者作为一个不善文笔的历史学家白瞎了从赫拉特到喀布尔的这段严冬的穿越之旅了,《纽约时报》是瞎了么,这种流水账一般的文笔还能被评为“10佳推荐书目”,不能看经历独特了就不管不顾啊。
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?
