First published in 1963, James A. Michener’s gripping chronicle of the social and political landscape of Afghanistan is more relevant now than ever. Combining fact with riveting adventure and intrigue, Michener follows a military man tasked, in the years after World War II, with a dangerous assignment: finding and returning a young American woman living in Afghanistan to her distraught family after she suddenly and mysteriously disappears. A timeless tale of love and emotional drama set against the backdrop of one of the most important countries in the world today, Caravans captures the tension of the postwar period, the sweep of Afghanistan’s remarkable history, and the inescapable allure of the past.

This book put a spell on me with the mentioning of names of old countries and historical places. Reading this book for the first time after the Russians where defeated and now a second time after the second fall of Kabul to the Taliban, is an absolute tour we force.

Amazing

The novel, as well as the speaker and his interpretation and voice are great. I' ve enjoied every minute of it. It gave me the impression, that I know now something about Afghanistan. Which of course is nonsense. This audiobook is one of the best I listened to. Thanks to all of you, who produced it.

Great
