Olivier Weber is one of the few European journalists who, in the last four years, has managed to spend a whole month in Afghanistan. He is the only reporter who has been able to venture out from Kabul. In the towns and villages he visited, he has been received by all the key figures, the Mollahs and the ministers. In his captivating essay, he brightly explains how between moral improvement (hard punishment for minor offences), tricks and exchanges (which enable the Talibans to live in comfort at the expense of the population), modern life in Afghanistan alternates with scenes of a deep past. At last a real insight into a situation we should all be preoccupied with, an understanding of the history of this country, a talented apprehension of the spirit and the soul of a population occupied since 1979.
Olivier Weber is a reporter for the French magazine Le Point. He has written many essays and novels. In 1997 he won the Joseph-Kessel prize for his book Lucien Bodard, un aventurier dans le siècle.
