In 1968, with Franco still in power, 21-year-old Ana M. Briongos left her native city of Barcelona for the first time and went to Afghanistan. Staying first in Kandahar, then in Kabul, it was not long before she fell in love with this fascinating country. Between 1968 and 1977, she would return there many times. In her quest for self-discovery, she encountered a cast of characters worthy of a novel, from street vendors in the bazaar to members of the country's ruling class and relatives of the Afghan royal family. Ana M. Briongos was also very privileged to be given a rare and intriguing glimpse behind the veil into the hidden world of Afghan women. "Winter in Kandahar" offers a personal recollection of an Afghanistan that no longer exists that of the final years of a forty-year-old monarchy on the verge of collapse. The book provides an insight into Afghanistan's complex system of clans and tribes, as well as a compelling account of the country's troubled history. The friendships Ana Briongos cemented during those years are still very much alive; this book represents a tribute to the survival of friendship through adversity against a backdrop of adventure and intrigue.
Winter in Kandahar Life in Afghanistan before the taliban eBook Ana M Briongos
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was extremely interesting to read about the experiences of a young Spanish woman traveling by herself in Afghanistan during the 1960s. The book struck a perfect balance between narrating the author's personal experiences in Afghanistan and providing the reader with information about the country. The book effectively describes Afghan history, geography, tribal structure, political organization, and culture without being too academic. In this way, the book is very accessible for anyone interested in this part of the world. In short, A Winter in Kandahar provides an informative and entertaining look at Afghanistan from the perspective of a woman that quite literally takes the road less traveled and seeks out the unconventional. A foreign woman, alone, forty years ago in Afghanistan.Product details
