The Award-winning International Bestselling Story of One Man's Six Year Detention in Australia
‘A powerfully vivid account of the experiences of a refugee: desperation, brutality, suffering, and all observed with an eye that seems to see everything and told in a voice that’s equal to the task.' - Phillip Pullman
In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country’s most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.
Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. Compiled and translated from Farsi by Omid Tofighian, the texts form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people, as borders close around the world.
No Friend but the Mountains is both a brave act of witness and a moving testament to the humanity of all people, in the most extreme of circumstances.
'A brilliant book. No Friend but the Mountains can rightly take its place on the shelf of world prison literature . . . It is a profound victory for a young poet who showed us all how much words can still matter.' - Richard Flanagan, Booker Prize winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North

Förstår tyvärr inte engelskan med den här accenten/dialekten, så hade väldigt svårt att förstå vad som händer i berättelsen. Annars är det nog en viktig bok och intressant läsning kan jag tänka mig. Hade uppskattat e-bok mer eftersom jag inte hänger med i den här engelskan.

What a horrible fate this man has seen. All my respect to Mr. Boochani. If he could write a book in prison, the worst one, on a phone, what excuse can anybody ever have who ever felt they wanted to write but don't have time?
