![]() ![]() The last twenty pages will impact you in a way that will stay with you for a very long time - highest recommendation. Lefèvre (by chance and choice) finds that this assignment is not only a journey across a country it is also a journey within that will challenge all that he has held dear. The juxtaposition of photos by Lefèvre and illustrations by Emmanuel Guibert weave seamlessly an overlay of starkness that is reminiscent of Francisco Goya's Black Paintings - the damp feeling of despair weighing on your consciousness as you struggle to grasp the no exit situation the poor people in this global game of chess find they are in against any choice they have been asked to make. This book moved me in so many different ways but at the core of the book are the black and white photographs taken by Didier Lefèvre as he struggles to keep up with a Médecins sans Frontières caravan trekking across war torn Afghanistan in 1986. First I would like to thank all of my GR friends who recommended this book - this is the reason that I am so glad to have your friendship and suggestions. ![]()
