AFGHANI

Beschreibung

War is a racket. Culture is blind. But what is the cost? Two men. A century apart. One, an Afghan cameleer escaping the brutality of war-torn Afghanistan, seeking hope in the unforgiving heart of the White Australia outback. Amid heartache and isolation, he carries the burden of belonging-and survival. The other, an Australian soldier caught in the post-9/11 war machine. As the world clamours for vengeance, he begins to see the cracks in the lies he's been told-and the truth of the war he's fighting. As cultures clash and centuries echo, Afghani asks: Can peace exist when history keeps repeating itself? Bold, lyrical, and unflinchingly honest, Afghani is a dual-timeline novel that skewers xenophobia and questions the legacy of a war built on shifting sands. Order now and discover the story that history tried to forget.

Autor

Brendon Patrick is an emerging Australian historical fiction author whose writing skilfully bridges cultural divides and illuminates often-overlooked histories in Australian communities. Based in Brisbane, he brings a unique dual perspective to his storytelling as both a retired Australian Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and Timor-Leste, and a proud descendant of Afghan Muslim Cameleers.His debut novel, Afghani, weaves together two parallel narratives that connect Australia's modern military experiences with its 19th-century colonial ancestry. Through compelling storytelling that balances humor with poignant reflection, Brendon explores how cultural differences both divide and unite a nation's history, and how resilience shapes identity across generations.Brendon is also the founder of Bulldog Publishing and the creative force behind A Life of Prose (ALoP), where he continues to develop works that empower personal growth and foster self-discovery through the timeless practice of bibliophilia. His mission is to inspire transformation and create meaningful change through the power of words.
