Description
Five months with Doctors Without Borders: "Ten-year-old Rahmudin came in with a fractured skull. I didn't believe he would ever wake up from the coma. And after the operation, that little rascal is walking!" Tomáš Šebek was in Afghanistan twice, in 2013 and 2015, each time with Doctors Without Borders. Between procedures where he operated on severely injured patients from the fighting and treated quite 'ordinary' injuries, he photographed and wrote. The result is a collection of records that captivate not only with their authentic and raw testimony but also with a fresh perspective on life in the desolate mountainous landscape. Šebek's storytelling is personal and often humorous. It is a non-pathetic testimony from a doctor and a friend of the Afghans, whose country has been plagued by terror and war conflicts for several decades. By purchasing this book, you will support the organization Doctors Without Borders.
