Caught between hostile nations, warring factions and competing ideologies, at the time, Afghanistan was in turmoil following the US invasion. This title presents an account of his walk across Afghanistan.

Críticas

Victoria Glendinning, chair of the judges described Rory Stewart as being "in the tradition of mad, or reckless Britishers who undertake journeys. He walked from to Kabul in territory laid with landmines. None of us will go where he has been . . . his writing is a pared-down achievement of shared experience, hard information, mysteriousness and lyricism."

"The scholarly but unstoppable hero-narrator draws on the tradition of Robert Byron and Bruce Chatwin, with a dash of John Buchan", said John Lanchester.

U.A. Fanthorpe described the short list of six as "writing of great distinction. All journeys of the soul, the hardest but (for the reader) the most rewarding kind of book."
