| The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif - A Refugee's journey from Afghanistan to Melbourne. | |
| Wed 18 Jun 2008 | |
| The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif traces the extraordinary story of an Afghani refugee's amazing journey from shepherd boy in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, his flight from torture and certain death by the Taliban, to owner of a successful traditional rug shop in Melbourne. His story begins in the infamous Woomera Detention Centre in the remote desert country of central Australia. This is the first book-length account of an asylum seeker in Australia to be exquisitely captured in his own voice. From the compelling opening sentence to the beautiful final chapter, Najaf's integrity, his extraordinary optimism and his generosity of spirit will win the hearts and minds of all readers.
Najaf Mazari will be introduced by Professor William Maley the director of the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy. Seats are filling up fast for what is sure to be a very special evening so please don't delay in booking for this event. Not to be missed! When: 6 - 8pm Wednesday June 18 Where: Asia Bookroom, Lawry Place, Macquarie (adjacent to the Jamison Centre) RSVP: Tuesday June 17 to 6251 5191 or books@AsiaBookroom.com |
