Tahir Shah

    16 novembre 1966

    Tahir Shah est l'auteur de quinze livres, dont beaucoup retracent une large gamme de voyages extravagants à travers l'Afrique, l'Asie et les Amériques. Pour lui, déchiffrer la face cachée des terres qu'il traverse est primordial. Évitant les sentiers touristiques battus, il préfère observer la vie depuis un coin de rue animé ou un café poussiéreux, insistant sur le fait que l'émerveillement se trouve partout où nous sommes, à condition de voir le monde avec des yeux neufs. Ses œuvres sont célébrées pour leur point de vue original et pour leur combinaison d'épreuves et de descriptions vivides.
