Tento titul si u nás môžete objednať aj v brožovanej väzbe! The highly anticipated memoir of Malala Yousafzai, the schoolgirl from Pakistan''''s Swat region who stood up to the Taliban. I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday. We''''d finished for the day and I was on the open-back truck we use as a school bus. There were no windows, just thick plastic sheeting that flapped at the sides and a postage stamp of open sky at the back through which I caught a glimpse of a kite wheeling up and down. It was pink, my favourite colour. In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing an anonymous blog for BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in Pakistani and international media, campaigning for education for all. On 9 October 2012, Malala was shot at point-blank range by a member of the Taliban on the way home from school. Remarkably, she survived. In April 2013, Time magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. I AM MALALA tells the inspiring story of a schoolgirl who was determined not to be intimidated by extremists, and faced the Taliban with immense courage. Malala speaks of her continuing campaign for every girl''''s right to an education, shining a light into the lives of those children who cannot attend school. This is just the beginning.
