El libro retrata a un librero heroico y una sociedad rota por las guerras y el fanatismo, en un país donde pensar es una actividad subversiva.Después de la caída de los talibanes, la popular corresponsal de guerra se instala en casa del librero Sultan Khan, en Kabul, y convive durante varios meses con su familia, convirtiendose en testigo directo de su vida cotidiana, de sus problemas, sueños y esperanzas.

Asne Seierstad In the early hours of New Years 1994, Russian troops invaded the Republic of Chechnya, plunging the country into a prolonged and bloody conflict that continues to this day. A foreign correspondent in Moscow at the time, sne Seierstad traveled regularly to Chechnya to report on the war, describing its affects on those trying to live their daily lives amidst violence. In the following decade, Seierstad became an internationally renowned reporter and author, traveling to the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and other war-torn regions. But she never lost sight of this conflict that had initially inspired her career. Over the course of a decade, she watched as Russia ruthlessly suppressed an Islamic rebellion in two bloody wars and as Chechnya evolved into one of the flashpoints in a world now focused on the threat of international terrorism. In 2006, Seierstad finally returned to Chechnya, traveling in secret and under the constant threat of danger. In a broken and devastated society she lived with orphans, the wounded, the lost. And she lived with the children of Grozny, those who will shape the countrys future.She asks the question: What happens to a child who grows up surrounded by war and accustomed to violence? A compelling, intimate, and often heartbreaking portrait of Chechnya today, The Angel of Grozny is a vivid account of a lands violent history and its ongoing battle for freedom. **Translated by Nadia M. Christensen.

This profile of the pseudonymous Sultan Khan, proprietor of a Kabul bookstore whose passionately liberal ideas about literature and freedom to read are at odds with his traditional ones about the place of women, has been an international bestseller. It has also been the subject of controversy, as the actual bookseller in question--a man named Shah Mohammed Rais, took offence at his portrayal, calling it libel and invasion of privacy, and sought legal reparations from the author, who lived with the Rais family for four months in Kabul in 2002.

From beloved international reporter sne Seierstad comes a remarkable exploration of the lives of ordinary Serbs under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic-during the dramatic events leading up to his fall, and finally in the troubled years that have followed. Seierstad traveled extensively through Serbia between 1999 and 2004, following the lives of people from across the political spectrum. Her moving and perceptive account follows nationalists, Titoists, Yugonostalgics, rock stars, fugitives, and poets. Seierstad brings her acclaimed attention to detail to bear on the lives of those whom she encounters in With Their Backs to the World, as she creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation made up of so many different-and often conflicting-hopes, dreams, and points of view.

THE STORY OF ANDERS BREIVIK AND THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX FILM 22 JULY, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOKSELLER OF KABULOn 22 July 2011 Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 of his fellow Norwegians in a terrorist atrocity that shocked the world.One of Us is the definitive account of the massacres and the subsequent trial. But more than that, it is the compelling story of Anders Breivik and a select group of his victims. As we follow the path to their inevitable collision, it becomes clear just what was lost in that one day.

In the spring of 2002, journalist Asne Seierstad went to Afghanistan to live with a family for several months. Here she reveals her experiences, telling the story of Sultan Khan - who defied the authorities for 20 years to supply books to the people of Kabul - and his family.

Asne Seierstad llegó antes del inicio de la guerra para captar el ambiente previo al ataque a Irak. La propaganda gubernamental, las condiciones de vida de la población iraquí y las dificultades para establecer contactos quedan reflejadas en la primera parte de la obra, pero sobre todo se hace evidente el miedo que envenena todas las relaciones: miedo al regimen y tambien miedo al ataque inminente. En esta situacion limite, la joven corresponsal noruega demuestra tener la perseverancia, la sangre fria y el valor necesarios para llevar a cabo su trabajo. Son muchos los puntos de interes que ofrece este libro, pero de todos ellos cabe destacar la descripcion de la durisima vida del corresponsal de guerra, siempre atrapado entre dos o mas fuegos, y dejando de lado sus sentimientos personales para realizar su trabajo con la profesionalidad necesaria. La autora hace referencia a la muerte de un periodista español, triste ejemplo de todos los peligros que encierra esta apasionante profesion.

Viernes 22 de julio de 2011. 15: 25: 22. Una camioneta estacionada a la entrada de la oficina del primer ministro noruego estalla en un mar de llamas. La primera víctima fue el joven abogado Jon Vegard, pero se contarian setenta y siete en total. Tras haber hecho explotar esa bomba, Anders Behring Breivik se presento en la isla de Utya disfrazado de policia y armado, listo para matar a los jovenes que asistian al campamento del Partido Laborista noruego. Nadie podia imaginar que el autor de la peor masacre perpetrada en Noruega desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial no fuera un fundamentalista islamico sino uno de ellos, un hombre que decidio desentenderse de la comunidad y golpearla de la manera mas brutal posible.Estas paginas dan cuenta del Breivik grafitero, del militante del Partido del Progreso, del empresario obsesionado con enriquecerse, del adicto a los juegos de computadora, del seguidor de blogs antiyihadistas, y nos llevan hasta la planificacion de los ataques, la fabricacion de la bomba y la jornada asesina. Brindan tambien una mirada casi intima de los jovenes comprometidos con ideales de justicia, a los que mato a sangre fria. Este relato pormenorizado de la vida y la mente del extremista de ultraderecha en su guerra contra la diversidad cultural, el feminismo y la inmigracion, es tambien un retrato calido de sus jovenes victimas y sus abatidos padres.
