«La huella de Babur. A pie de Afganistán» is the travelogue by Rory Stewart, published by Alcalá Grupo Editorial in paperback (390 pages, in Spanish).
The author recounts the journey on foot he made through Afghanistan in January 2002. During the march he crossed snowy mountains and areas devastated by the Taliban, and met communities thriving among medieval ruins; he was helped by his command of Persian dialects, his knowledge of Islam, and the generosity of the people he encountered.
The work is part of the «Literatura viajes» collection from Alcalá Grupo Editorial and was published in 2008.
Intended for readers of travel writing and contemporary Afghan history, with an approach close to personal reportage.
