Pashtun Tales: From the Pakistan-Afghan Frontier
Aisha Ahmad and Roger Boase (eds.)
Paperback
9780863566370
These stories were collected in the tribal areas of the Pakistan-Afghan border, a region once described as ‘the last free place on earth’, where the caravan routes from Persia, India and China historically converged.
With a blend of wit, fantasy, comedy and romance, these tales reflect the Pashtun code of honour and way of life, now seriously threatened by social changes and political upheaval.
