Rahimi atiq (817 résultats)

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Farhad is a typical student, twenty-one years old, interested in wine, women, and poetry, and negligent of the religious conservatism of his grandfather. But he lives in Kabul in 1979, and the early days of the pro-Soviet coup are about to change his life forever. One night Farhad goes out drinking with a friend who is about to flee to Pakistan, and is brutally abused by a group soldiers. A few hours later he slowly regains consciousness in an unfamiliar house, beaten and confused, and thinks at first that he is dead. A strange and beautiful woman has dragged him into her home for safekeeping, and slowly Farhad begins to feel a forbidden love for her--a love that embodies an angry compassion for the suffering of Afghanistan's women. As his mind sifts through its memories, fears, and hallucinations, and the outlines of reality start to harden, he realizes that, if he is to escape the soldiers who wish to finish the job they started, he must leave everything he loves behind and find a way to get to Pakistan. Rahimi uses his tight, spare prose to send the reader deep into the fractured mind and emotions of a country caught between religion and the political machinations of the world's superpowers.…

From outside come the sounds of tanks gunshots screaming and most terrifying of all silence. Inside her two frightened daughters call to her from the hallway. As she tries to keep her husband alive the woman rages against men war culture God. Even as her mind appears to unravel she becomes intensely clear-sighted. Now is her chance - her first ever - to speak without being censored. Her husband's body reminds her of the legend of the patience stone a stone that hears all confessions until it explodes and finally spurred to new heights of daring she spills out her most explosive secret.…
