In LFI 2/2015 the photographer Lorenzo Tugnoli and the author Francesca Recchia present their personal impressions of Afghanistan. While the image of the country is dominated by war and destruction, they have a different view. In The Little Book of Kabul they concentrate on the creative scene in the Afghan capital and broaden the image presented by the foreign press, which shows life there only as a constant battle for survival.
The Little Book of Kabul is self-published with 500 signed and numbered copies. Its 201 pages include 20 short stories and 47 black and white photographs. You can find further information at littlebookofkabul.wordpress.com.
