- Summary:
- This book ventures into the world beyond Lampedusa: the crisis belt that stretches from Kashmir across Pakistan and Afghanistan to Iraq, Syria and beyond, to the borders and coasts of Europe. The celebrated author Navid Kermani reports from a war-torn region which, although often depicted as remote and distant from our daily concerns, deeply affects us all, His gripping accounts allow us to understand a world in turmoil and to share the hopes and suffering of the people in it. Suddenly we see that our world too lies beyond Lampedusa. Book jacket.
