An unflinching portrait of a generation fighting for change in Iran, Afghanistan, and Ukraine
In The Fire, acclaimed journalist Cecilia Sala takes readers on a gripping journey through some of the world’s most volatile regions, from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. Through the eyes of people like Kateryna, a Ukrainian soldier; Assim, an Iranian student at the forefront of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests; Nabila, a queer Muslim kickboxing champion; and Zarifa, a political activist in Afghanistan, Sala offers an intimate portrayal of those fighting for a better life.
By immersing herself in their daily lives and political battles, Sala crafts a poignant narrative that captures the human dimension of some of the world’s most intense conflicts. The Fire is a testament to the courage of a generation at the forefront of global change.
“A choral reportage that starts from personal stories and broadens the story to the geopolitical context.” * Rivista Blam *
“The only hope left lies with the younger generations; they are the only ones who still have a vision and can recount the story of our planet without prejudices. Cecilia Sala does precisely that, with great skill and passion, in this extraordinary book.” * Io Donna *
