In the Sea There Are Crocodiles: Based on the True Story of Enaiatollah Akbari

Product Information

It was so hard to concentrate on and listen to because both the narrators (one for Enaiat, one for Fabio Geda, the author) were so bad. i almost didn't want to rate this book 5 stars or even 4 because of the author, but again, this book is about enaiatollah akbari. quando rimane orfano di padre oltre che far fronte al lutto deve anche nascondersi dalle persone a cui il padre doveva dei soldi. But then, touchingly, he does name the Italian family who foster him because, he says, their names do not cause him pain. This is a gem of a book, shining a light on the intensely difficult choices and impossible journeys faced by refugees.

Una lettura bellissima e commovente fino alle lacrime, la quale ci insegna che i coccodrilli possono nascondersi nel mare, ma qualcuno anche sulla terra ferma!In questo periodo questa storia potrebbe far riflettere su quanto l'emigrazione sia difficile, ma per alcune persone del mondo necessaria per vivere una vita dignitosa. For Enaiat is a Hazara, and the saying among the Taliban goes: "Tajikistan for the Tajiks; Uzbekistan for the Uzbeks and 'Goristan' for the Hazara. Non lo definirei un romanzo, più un reportage, un memoir, un’intervista, un racconto verità, che è anche storia di formazione e riscatto.

Poi però si è messa di mezzo la guerra, le eterne lotte tra fazioni diverse, l'odio gratuito verso diversi popoli e diverse correnti della stessa religione. An extraordinary story of a ten year old Afghan refugee (Enaiatollah) who, via human traffickers, spends over five years of his life moving from Afghanistan to Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece and Italy. I thought it was a great way to recount Akbari’s experiences, but as I mentioned, it felt like he was keeping the reader at arm’s length a lot of the time.

Enaiatollah's journey begins when his mother leaves him at a refugee camp in Pakistan, as she fears for his life if he stays with her in Afghanistan and is forced to do the most difficult thing a mother can do.
