I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

This book made me SO glad I live in Canada! Malala lives in an area of Pakistan where the simple act of going to school becomes life-threatening for her, and inspires an international movement for women’s education. To say she is courageous is an understatement, and one cannot help but admire her perseverance and optimism in the face of terrorism. She rightly credits her father with exemplifying this attitude, which allows them both to champion women’s education against all odds. The book is not perfect. It gets off to a slow start, with Malala’s story sometimes encumbered by lengthy passages about Pakistan’s history. Some places also read more like interview segments than memoir, suggesting some cobbling together of the text, likely by her co-author. Nevertheless, “I Am Malala” becomes a page-turner in later chapters, leaving one cheering for this remarkable young woman and her cause.

Excelente condiciones en la entrega, todo fue a tiempo y la impresión es muy buena.E

Di qualità maggiore rispetto la versione in italiano. Le pagine sono più robuste e le foto presenti nel libro sono molto lucide.

Récit très émouvant d'une adolescente courageuse qui souhaite que tous les enfants accèdent à l'éducation et que les femmes aient des droits. Née au mauvais endroit, au mauvais moment, on ne peut être qu'admiratif de son parcours et de sa famille, ouverte d'esprit et farouche opposante au régime des talibans. Ses prises de positions lui vaudront une tentative d'assassinat à la sortie de son école par des membres du Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. Je conseille cet ouvrage, réelle prise de conscience sur ce que peut être la vie ailleurs, nous qui passons notre temps à nous plaindre, cela remet les pendules à l'heure. Anglais niveau intermédiaire.

Loved it. Puts you into perspective of what happens in other countries and helps you understand other cultures.Malala is also an amazing women and I am so happy I discovered her story.
