The Bookseller of Kabul - Asne Seierstad

A bookseller seems an unlikely hero as we are used to freedom of thought and action. In Kabul our bookseller has twice been imprisoned by different conquering regimes just for selling his beloved books.

The finale journalist Asne Seierstad offers a fascinating insight into the segregated world of his Muslim extended family trying to survive in the poor Taliban era. An excellent read.
