Libro que se ha leído y que no tiene un aspecto nuevo, pero que está en un estado excelente. No hay desperfectos visibles en la tapa y se incluye sobrecubierta, si procede, para las tapas duras. Todas las páginas están en perfecto estado, sin arrugas ni roturas y no falta ninguna. El texto no está subrayado ni resaltado de forma alguna, y no hay anotaciones en los márgenes. Puede presentar marcas de identificación mínimas en la contraportada o las guardas. Muy poco usado.

Synopsis
In March 2007, Mastrogiacomo, his driver and his interpreter were captured by the Taliban. When Italy refused the demand to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, the driver was decapitated, and Mastrogiacomo spent the rest of his time in captivity convinced that a similar fate would soon befall him., " As brilliantly crafted and riveting as a first-rate suspense novel and with the emotional engagement of the best literary fiction, Days of Fear offers rare insight into the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan while telling an unforgettable tale of courage in the face of danger. On March 5, 2007, the Italian reporter Daniele Mastrogiacomo, his driver, and his interpreter were abducted by the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. ""If we discover that you are spies we will kill you,"" he was told. ""If you are really journalists, we will exchange you for some of our comrades in prison."" When the Italian government and the Afghan authorities refused the Taliban requests, the driver, Sayed Agha, was decapitated before Mastrogiacomo's eyes. A video of this horrifying event was later shown around the world. Mastrogiacomo spent the rest of his time in captivity convinced that a similar fate would soon befall him. Mastrogiacomo's jail, however, was an open-air prison. To escape detection his captors dragged him from village to village, through opium-poppy plantations, along dusty roads and over rugged mountains, from one Taliban stronghold to another-his imprisonment was a continuous and nerve- racking confrontation with a world that bore no resemblance to anything he had ever known. He draws from this experience both a hostage's tale of captivity and a dramatic story about the eternal human drama: man's encounter with ways of thinking and living that are in direct opposition to his own. As brilliantly crafted and riveting as a first-rate suspense novel and with the emotional engagement of the best literary fiction, Days of Fear offers rare insight into the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan while telling an unforgettable tale of courage in the face of danger.", On March 5, 2007, Daniele Mastrogiacomo, his driver, and his interpreter were captured by the Taliban. His captors threatened to execute him if Italy did not immediately withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. When Italy refused this demand, the driver, twenty-five-year old Sayed Agha, was decapitated before Mastrogiacomo's eyes. A video of this horrifying event was shown around the world, and Mastrogiacomo spent the rest of his time in captivity, convinced that a similar fate would soon befall him. His jail, however, was not a dark room hidden away in some urban periphery, but a kind of open-air prison: to escape detection, his captors dragged him from village to village, through opium plantations, along dusty roads and over rugged mountains, from one end of Afghanistan to the other. It was a captivity that consisted in a continuous and nerve-racking confrontation with a world that bore no resemblance to that which he had ever known. Mastrogiacomo draws from his experience not only a hostage's tale of captivity but also a story that lies at the heart of the eternal human drama: that of a man's encounter with The Other. As brilliantly crafted as a first-rate suspense novel and with the kind of emotional impact associated with the best literary fiction, Mastrogiacomo's story of courage and tenacity in the face of imminent danger is unforgettable.
