In 1972 I did the "Overland" trip from Sydney, Australia, to London including the Malay peninsular, Penang-Madras boat, India, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran etc. Afghanistan was considered pretty dangerous then and we travelled in convoy with another couple, also in a VW Kombi, from ghastly Pakistan and the graveyard of British regiments, the Khyber Pass ( the Kabul pass is far more spectacular), south-west to Kandahar (vineyards on the hills) and north-west to Herat. What Mr Stewart did, to walk directly east from Herat to Kabul would have been considered insane then. It is a sad measure of the continued failure of the human race that it seems even more dangerous now. His book is tremendous. It is not meant to be anti-religion. But its brilliant insights into Islam are just as scary as looking into the pig-ignorance of the modern day Bible Belt in the US (where I now live) or the smug Vatican or the Israel-Palestine impasse, in general. As long as we have religion, there is no bright logical future for humans on earth.
I remember reading this book a decade ago and it changed my view of the Middle East. I lost the book in a move, but I just reordered a copy for my husband to read. That's how deeply it has touched me. Even today, I can still close my eyes and see the imagery of Rory's travels. It has made me believe in the kindness of people, despite a raging duality -- even cruelty -- brought on by a harsh reality. It is a wonderful read for anyone who wishes to discover the area... through someone else's eyes, as I did given the fact that current affairs have made it impossible for me to ever experience it firsthand. This is not a "soft" read and it is at times gut wrenching, but it is well worth it.
This was a captivating, very unusual book. I read it a couple months ago, and am still thinking about it. I learned a lot about Afghanistan and Rory Stewart. The weaving of history with the inclusion of bits of the historical diary of Afghanistan's first Mughal emperor whose steps Stewart followed, added another level of fascination and depth. Stewart is not only an articulate, gifted writer, but also an unusually spirited person with an almost uncanny sense of survival. However, his need to push on at times, dangerously exhausted, in the face of life threatening danger presented a psychological dilemma that I grappled with on several occasions, trying to figure out this most unusual man. I was also moved by his relationship with the dog he adopted early in his journey.
I discovered this author, Rory Stewart, because of his book on walking along Hadrian's Wall Pathway as my son and I had walked part of the pathway. I enjoyed it so much I bought two more of his books. This one was in an area I was completely unfamiliar with but again he made me feel I was there with him. The way he wove the history of Afghanistan into the area he walked through while giving the recent events and conditions was truly brilliant. His verbal snapshots of the characters he met along the way were interesting and enlightening. I also enjoyed the sketches he included in the book. Rory himself is courageous and strong. He makes you want to travel by foot to explore the world. Those who love history, travel and hiking will love this book.
Enjoying every step of the journey. Rory Stewart's perceptive acceptance of a foreign world, leaves me shaking my head in admiration. I'm reading the book slowly, a chapter every few days. The author's desire to understand and experience things around him, overtakes his sense of self preservation. The book gives us an insight into the journey of an incredibly kind, brave and intelligent human being. His book has given me a window into the way things are in Afghanistan, and showed me a little of the structured hierarchy within village life.
If you like adventure books and want to learn something about the numerous villages and Afghanistan people from a micro level, I think you will enjoy this book about a young Scott who desires to walk the width of Afghanistan. It is a more a micro version because although there are broad references to the Russian occupation, Talaban, the Northern Alliance and the Karzai; the book is more about Stewart's personal interactions with individuals along the way. You'll find more references to the preceding travels of the Muslim conqueror Babur who traveled Stewart's intended path than the overall state of Afghanistan; however you get a genuine picture of the home life of many of the Afghan's whose Muslim religion encourages them to welcome strangers and share what they have. There are descriptions of many villages destroyed/damaged by the Talaban, including mass executions, and the effects of Russian attacks. There are interesting uncertainties concerning the loyalty of some village/area leaders who were once Talaban and could still be in some cases. many switched sides based on what benefited them realistically, Stewart is periodically challenged but carries on through letters of introduction. I do wish he had provided more detail on the lifestyles of the Afghans of different villages and their customs and family interaction but it was a fast paced travelogue more focused on his physical challenges to the environment and his own tolerance to limited food many times offered by very poor families. I did find his interaction with a large mastiff engaging although the animal was not conditioned for the journey, he apparently filled a void for companionship that Stewart avoided during his walkathon. it is a fast paced read and a more narrow view than some readers would expect but I was impressed that Stewart was fluent enough in the language to converse readily across the country and that he had the physical endurance to complete the travels. What was a depressing picture of this war torn country was a encounter with land mines is when Stewart asks a village if the land mines they were avoiding were left by the Talaban and the villager says "no they are ours but we forgot their locations".Ppppp
