Download or read book The Lovers written by Rod Nordland and published by Hodder Paperbacks. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the heartrending account of Zakia and Mohammad Ali, a couple from opposing ethnic sects, who defying their society's norms have left behind everything they know and are quite literally risking their lives for their love. Friends from childhood, Zakia and Mohammad Ali could never have predicted that their love would anger their families so much that they would be forced to leave their homes finding refuge only in the harsh terrain of the Afghani mountains. Without money or passports they rely on the kindness of strangers to house them for a couple of days at a time as they remain on the run, never deterred. New York Times journalist, Rod Nordland, has chronicled the plight of the young lovers telling their extraordinary story of courage, perseverance and love in one of the world's most troubled countries. This moving love story is told against the bigger backdrop of the horrific but widespread practices that women are subjected to in Afghanistan.
Download or read book The Lovers written by Rod Nordland and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting, real-life equivalent of The Kite Runner—an astonishingly powerful and profoundly moving story of a young couple willing to risk everything for love that puts a human face on the ongoing debate about women’s rights in the Muslim world. Zakia and Ali were from different tribes, but they grew up on neighboring farms in the hinterlands of Afghanistan. By the time they were young teenagers, Zakia, strikingly beautiful and fiercely opinionated, and Ali, shy and tender, had fallen in love. Defying their families, sectarian differences, cultural conventions, and Afghan civil and Islamic law, they ran away together only to live under constant threat from Zakia’s large and vengeful family, who have vowed to kill her to restore the family’s honor. They are still in hiding. Despite a decade of American good intentions, women in Afghanistan are still subjected to some of the worst human rights violations in the world. Rod Nordland, then the Kabul bureau chief of the New York Times, had watched these abuses unfold for years when he came upon Zakia and Ali, and has not only chronicled their plight, but has also shepherded them from danger. The Lovers will do for women’s rights generally what Malala’s story did for women’s education. It is an astonishing story about self-determination and the meaning of love that illustrates, as no policy book could, the limits of Western influence on fundamentalist Islamic culture and, at the same time, the need for change.
Book Synopsis Love & War in Afghanistan by : Alex Klaits
Download or read book Love & War in Afghanistan written by Alex Klaits and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and War in Afghanistan presents true stories of fourteen ordinary men and women living in Northern Afghanistan. In a quarter-century of uninterrupted war, the people of Afghanistan have endured foreign invasions, ethnic strife, a fundamentalist Islamic totalitarian regime, and the unending crossfire of rival warlord factions. The country remains an object of fascination for journalists, academics, and filmmakers from around the world. In the midst of it all it is a startlingly powerful experience to discover, here, the voices of the Afghan people themselves. Young lovers who elope against the wishes of their kin; a mullah whose wit is his only defense against his armed captors; a defector from the Soviet army; a woman who is forced to stand up to gangsters in Tajikistan—their dramatic stories emerge in their own unforgettable words. Whether in the sudden awakening of mercy in a Taliban militiaman, the lingering contempt of a woman for her husband’s first wife, the pain and confusion of flight into exile, or the resourcefulness of a child who must provide for an entire family, the real focus of these narratives is the strength of solitary individuals faced daily with their own vulnerability. Men, women, orphans, widows, widowers, Tajiks, Pashtuns, Uzbeks, Turkmens, schoolteachers, mullahs, former Taliban, mujahideen, big brothers, little sisters, captive wives, lovers in flight: Love and War in Afghanistan tells their stories, putting human faces onto a country torn by war.

Book Synopsis Songs of Love and War by : Sayd Majrouh
Download or read book Songs of Love and War written by Sayd Majrouh and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of oral literature in the Pashtun language create their work at a far remove from any books. Generally deprived of the support of schools and universities, their compositions are inseparable from song. Their poetry is never declaimed; rather, their rhyme and rhythm have melodic value. These popular improvisations do not exalt mystic love. In them there is no aspiration whatsoever to an unfathomable and incommunicable heaven, nor devotion to the lord, nor praise for an absolute master, nor any Adonis. To the contrary, they are songs of the earth. They celebrate nature, mountains, rivers, dawn and night’s magnetic space. They are songs of war and honor, shame and love, beauty and death. The repression of Afghan women has caused untold suffering, particularly through moral subjugation. Infant daughters and their mothers are received with scorn and shame, and lead lives of subordination and humiliation. Their rebellion against these tribal codes comes only through suicide and song. Translated from the Pashtun into French by the eminent Sayd Bahodine Majrouh, the greatest Afghan poet of the twentieth century, his text has been rendered into English in the expert hands of Marjolijn de Jager of the Translation Department at NYU.

Book Synopsis Seduced by an Afghan by : Joan Kayeum
Download or read book Seduced by an Afghan written by Joan Kayeum and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Afghan student and an American risk everything for love in this emotional and unforgettable story that takes place during the 1940s. In this compelling and passionate memoir, Joan Kayeum tells the story of her journey from a Greek neighborhood in Chicago to Afghanistan, a Muslim country mired in the past. With affection and humor, she paints a colorful picture of growing up Greek in Chicago. Encouraged by her father, who taught his children if they worked and studied hard the sky was the limit, and expected her to marry a Greek American, Joan went on to study at the University of Chicago where she is exposed to a new and exciting world of intellectual stimulation, freedom, and a veritable United Nations of foreign students. It was there she met the love of her life, the dashing, swarthy Afghan student Abdul Kayeum. Multilingual, knowledgeable, and worldly, Abdul's charismatic personality was a magnet to all who met him. He regaled Joan and her friends with stories of his beloved home country and a childhood where he grew up, cared for by three mothers-his birth mother and his father's other two wives. Seduced by an Afghan, An Unlikely Love Story, tells of a clash of two cultures and a love that bridged the differences-a love so strong that Abdul challenges his country's laws prohibiting marriage to foreign women, and Joan defies the strictures of her upbringing to follow her heart. All net proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Joan Kayeum's foundation, FEDA (Foundation for Educational Development of Afghans) and other charities designed to promote the education of young girls and boys who live in the provinces of Afghanistan.
