With The Bookseller of Kabul, award-winning journalist Asne Seierstad has given readers a first-hand look at Afghani life as few outsiders have seen it.

Invited to live with Sultan Khan, a bookseller in Kabul, and his family for months, this account of her experience allows the Khans to speak for themselves, giving us a genuinely gripping and moving portrait of a family, and of a country of great cultural riches and extreme contradictions. For more than 20 years, Sultan Khan has defied the authorities -- whether Communist or Taliban -- to supply books to the people of Kabul. He has been arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned, and has watched illiterate Taliban soldiers burn piles of his books in the street. Yet he had persisted in his passion for books, shedding light in one of the world's darkest places. This is the intimate portrait of a man of principle and of his family -- two wives, five children, and many relatives sharing a small four-room house in this war ravaged city. But more than that, it is a rare look at contemporary life under Islam, where even after the Taliban's collapse, the women must submit to arranged marriages, polygamous husbands, and crippling limitations on their ability to travel, learn and communicate with others.

Overpriced but it works.
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I hate that I love this product. It's stupid expensive. But it's great for broken/damaged/recovering skin. I've used it post microneedling and it is the only thing that soothes, hydrates, and doesn't sting raw, red skin. Great for rashes/hives and allergic reactions too. Luckily a thin layer is often enough to do the trick. so it lasts a long time I wouldn't use for everyday moisture, but when your skin is angry, this stuff works. (Overpriced? Yes. Witchcraft? Maybe. Does it work? Yep.)

Ultimate Relief for Dry Skin!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I recently purchased the Vaseline Men's Healing Moisture Hand & Body Lotion for my husband, and it has quickly become a household favorite! If you're on the hunt for a fast-absorbing, effective solution for dry or cracked skin, look no further. First and foremost, the speed at which this lotion absorbs into the skin is impressive. No greasy residue, just instant relief. My husband, who is usually hesitant about using lotions, loves how this one doesn't leave a sticky or oily feeling. It's a game-changer for him, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the moisture levels of his skin. The healing properties are remarkable. His hands, which are prone to dryness and cracking, have become noticeably softer and smoother since using this lotion. The formula is gentle yet powerful, making it an ideal solution for daily use without causing any irritation. The subtle, masculine fragrance is another plus. It's not overpowering but leaves a fresh and clean scent that lingers just enough. The pump dispenser is practical and ensures that the lotion is dispensed in the right quantity, preventing unnecessary waste. The size of the bottle is generous, offering great value for the price. With daily use, the lotion has lasted longer than expected, proving that a little goes a long way. It has become a staple in my husband's grooming routine, and I can confidently say that his skin has never looked or felt better. In conclusion, Vaseline Men's Healing Moisture Hand & Body Lotion is a five-star product that delivers on its promises. If you're searching for a reliable, fast-absorbing lotion for dry or cracked skin, this is the one. My husband is a satisfied customer, and we'll definitely be repurchasing in the future.

Works great, smells good, and does not leave you feeling slimy or greasy.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This stuff is the best for men who do not like feeling greasy when they use lotion. It works good for healing and preventing cracking and drying of skin, but it may have to be applied multiple times a day for people with very dry skin.

Great product at a great price
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Great price for a product that I have used and liked for years. Lotion dries quickly and has nice masculine scent. In addition to moisturizing my hands, I also use it for aftershave lotion on my face.
