Book DescriptionWith The Bookseller of Kabul, award-winning journalist Asne Seierstad has given readers a firsthandlook at Afghani life as few outsiders have seen it. Invited to live with Sultan Khan, abookseller in Kabul, and his family for months, this account of her experience allows the Khans tospeak for themselves, giving us a genuinely gripping and moving portrait of a family, and of acountry of great cultural riches and extreme contradictions. For more than 20 years, Sultan Khanhas defied the authorities -- whether Communist or Taliban -- to supply books to the people ofKabul. He has been arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned, and has watched illiterate Talibansoldiers burn piles of his books in the street. Yet he had persisted in his passion for books,shedding light in one of the world's darkest places. This is the intimate portrait of a man ofprinciple and of his family -- two wives, five children, and many relatives sharing a small fourroomhouse in this war ravaged city. But more than that, it is a rare look at contemporary lifeunder Islam, where even after the Taliban's collapse, the women must submit to arrangedmarriages, polygamous husbands, and crippling limitations on their ability to travel, learn andcommunicate with others.
