Afghanistan - symbol of war and sorrow for most of the people today - crossed by the photographer Stefan Alfons and his team in just 8 days by jeep. Alfons documented this trip by extensive photographs. His pictures show us a suprisingly different country; cheerful, multicolored, lucky, but also emitting an enourmous width and silence. The colorful coffeetable book with it's large-sized landscapes and portraits presents us an Afghanistan which will seem strange to the observer at first, but then will show an other reality of this nation: Afghanistan as a country which is worth visiting.
