Ofred

AvÅsne Seierstad

44

Inbunden, Svenska, 2025

261 kr

Ofred tar avstamp i det uppmärksammade avhoppet av Wagner-soldaten Andrej Medvedev som sökte asyl i Norge i januari 2023, men vidgas till ett porträtt inte bara av en förrymd soldat med en söndertrasad uppväxt utan av en hel nation. När andra reportrar kallas hem från ett Ryssland som isolerar sig, reser Åsne Seierstad tillbaka till det land där hon studerade och senare skrev sin första artikel.

Ofred är en berättelse om nationens centrum och dess periferi, om storstäderna Sankt Petersburg och Moskva och om Sibiriens glesbygd. Det är också en berättelse om oppositionella, likgiltiga och Putintrogna, om familjer som blir kvar när männen kallas in till kriget. Det är en berättelse som genom en rad öden försöker förstå vad som händer och har hänt i Ryssland under kriget mot Ukraina, i en tid då det mer än någonsin är nödvändigt att förstå vår granne i öst.

Åsne Seierstad är en av Nordens främsta sakproseförfattare, känd inte minst för böcker som Bokhandlaren i Kabul, En av oss (om Breivik och massakern på Utøya) och nu senast Afghanerna (utgiven på svenska av Polaris 2023).

Afghanerna

AvÅsne Seierstad

14

Pocket, Svenska, 2023

89 kr

En man och två kvinnor.

En av dem rymde hemifrån som pojke för att utkämpa ett heligt krig, fängslades, frigavs, och är nu krigsherre med två fruar. En annan fick polio som flicka, lärde sig läsa Koranen med kvinnlig blick, blev högt uppsatt politiker och sedan flykting i en stad norr om polcirkeln. Den tredje är en snart färdigutbildad student, ivrig att få ta sin examen och bli en del av samhället men som skickas hem och får besked om att hon ska gifta sig med en främmande man. Detta är Afghanistan efter talibanernas återkomst. Tre öden i ett land som varit uppmarschområde och spelplan för olika stormakter sedan Alexander den stores dagar.

Afghanerna är Åsne Seierstads återkomst till landet tjugo år efter Bokhandlaren i Kabul. Hon berättar historierna om de som flydde undan talibanerna och om de som blev kvar. I en bok som är både informativ, medryckande, välformulerad och djupt empatisk tecknar hon inte bara porträtt av tre människor som alla väljer sin egen väg, utan följer trådar tillbaka i landets historia som förklarar varför Afghanistan ständigt är i krig med sig självt och omvärlden.

"Åsne Seierstads grepp att skildra Afghanistan under talibanregimen utan att döma är omöjligt att värja sig emot." SvD

En urviktig insyn i hur kvinnorna, redan som små flickor, målmedvetet skolas in i männens maskulina apartheidsystem Expressen

"Seierstad är mästerlig i boken om afghanerna" Aftonbladet

"Åsne Seierstad har en fantastisk förmåga att blåsa liv i individer" DN

"Seierstad är oerhört skicklig på gestaltning. Afghanistan kommer verkligen till liv genom de porträtterade människornas mycket olika sätt att tolka och tänja sina omständigheter och sin kultur." Sydsvenskan

"Det är en mycket stark bok, som är lättläst och som nästan omärkligt skiftar från de storpolitiska till de vardagligaperspektiven." BTJ-häftet nr 2, 2023

'A totally unprecedented, behind the scenes portrait of Putin's Russia at war. Astonishing. A major work' ANTONY BEEVORPutin's Russia silences its citizens, targets foreign journalists and invaded a neighbouring country - while declaring it illegal to say the country is at war. This is what we know from the outside: but what does it feel like on the inside?The way into this question, for bestselling author and journalist Åsne Seierstad, was young Russian soldier Andrey Medvedev, who defected from the infamous Wagner Group and sought asylum in Norway in January 2023. He was three years old when Putin rose to power and his life story mirrors the transformation of his country. And as Åsne dug deeper into his family and connections, more and more of Russian society opened up to her, from teachers and farmers to reporters and women left behind by soldiers at war.Drawing upon Åsne's deep knowledge of Russia and her unparalleled access to the country, Unpeace: Russian Lives at War paints an intimate yet epic portrait of a much-mythologized and little-understood country. With Åsne's characteristic eye for narrative and detail, she takes us behind closed doors and illuminates the lives of individuals, helping us think about vital questions: how did present-day Russia come to be? And how are some Russians looking to change the future of their country?'An exquisite work of on-the-ground reportage conjuring all the violence, injustice and contradiction of wartime Russia.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'An intimate portrait of Afghani people quite unlike any other ... compelling' CHRISTINA LAMB, SUNDAY TIMESFor more than twenty years Sultan Khan, a bookseller in Kabul, defied the authorities - be they communist or Taliban - to supply books to the people of Kabul. He was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned by the communists and watched illiterate Taliban soldiers burn piles of his books in the street. A committed Muslim, Khan is passionate in his love of books and hatred of censorship. Two weeks after September 11th, award-winning journalist Åsne Seierstad went to Afghanistan to report on the conflict there and the year after she lived with an Afghan family for several months. We learn of proposals and marriages, suppression and abuse of power, crime and punishment. The result is a gripping and moving portrait of a family, and a clear-eyed assessment of a country struggling to free itself from history.'Fascinating ...

From the bestselling author of THE BOOKSELLER OF KABUL comes a remarkable exploration of the lives of ordinary Serbs under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic-during the dramatic events leading up to his fall, and finally in the troubled years that have followed. Asne Seierstad traveled extensively through Serbia between 1999 and 2004, following the lives of people from across the political spectrum. Her moving and perceptive account follows nationalists, Titoists, Yugonostalgics, rock stars, fugitives and poets. Seierstad brings her acclaimed attention to detail to bear on the lives of those whom she encounters in With Their Backs to the World, as she creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation made up of so many different-and often conflicting-hopes, dreams, and points of view.
