About this product

Product Information

A brilliant account of a death defying walk through Afghanistan Rory Stewart's sparsely poetic, and highly acclaimed account of his walk across Afghanistan in January 2002 has been hailed as a modern classic of travel writing. Travelling entirely on foot and following the inaccessible, mountainous route, Stewart was nearly defeated by the hostile conditions. With the help of an unexpected companion and the generosity of the people he met on the way, however, he survived to report back on a region closed to the world by twenty-four years of war.

  • An absorbing account of a real-life adventure

    A very fast moving and interesting account of an epic trek across Afghanistan. Rory Stewart is a perceptive and ntelligent observer. He brings the country and its peoples to life.

  • A compelling story of an amazing journey

    Rory Stewart writes concisely and at the same time lyrically of a journey that involved tremendous stamina in the most extreme conditions. His sympathy with the people of the region and understanding of the culture are evident throughout and it provides a window on Afghanistan not normally seen. One is left with huge admiration for his heroic effort in completing the trek, and appreciation of his erudite research into the history of the Afghan people that fills this book.
