      Afganistán: un país asolado por años de conflicto. Pero, ¿cómo es realmente este lugar? ¿Qué hay de sus maravillosos tesoros culturales, su historia venerable y su gente? Jason Elliot viaja por Afganistán a mediados de los años noventa, en un tiempo de transformación, cuando los soviéticos se han retirado y los talibanes están a las puertas de Kabul. Con un relato sumamente emocionante y evocador, describe paisajes impresionantes, encuentros con orgullosos muyahidines, con sufíes altamente educados, la legendaria hospitalidad de los afganos y el sufrimiento de un pueblo con un gran pasado y un futuro incierto. Así, Afganistán se presenta de repente bajo una luz completamente diferente.
