The Bookseller of Kabul By Åsne Seierstad

The Bookseller of Kabul By Åsne Seierstad free pdf download. The Bookseller of Kabul is set in Kabul, where the author spent four months in 2002 living with Sultan Khan, a bookseller, and his family after the Taliban regime fell. Khan had risked his life for over two decades to provide books to the people of Kabul, enduring imprisonment by the communists and watching the Taliban burn his books.

Despite his passion for literature and opposition to censorship, Khan held conservative views on family values and women’s roles. Seierstad was able to transition between the women’s private world and the men’s public sphere. Åsne Seierstad’s book presents a compelling and moving depiction of a family and a clear-eyed analysis of a nation attempting to break free from its historical shackles.
