About the book

A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

As seen on Netflix with David Letterman
"I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday."

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.

On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.

Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.

    Dies ist die sehr bewegende Autobiographie von Malala Yousafzai, die sich bereits als zwölfjährige Aktivistin für das Recht von Mädchen, zur Schule zu gehen, einsetzt. Sie schreibt über ihre Kindheit in einem recht liberalen Haushalt in einem abgelegenen Tal in Pakistan, die zunächst glücklich war. Ihr Vater gründet eine eigene Schule, damit Jungen UND Mädchen Bildung erhalten. Malala bloggt auf einer Website der BBC über die zunehmend schwierige Situation mit den Taliban, die sich im Norden von Pakistan ausbreiten, Schulen in die Luft sprengen, verlangen, dass Frauen und Mädchen Schleier tragen etc. Im Alter von 15 verändert sich ihr Leben für immer, als ihr auf dem Heimweg von der Schule von einem Taliban in den Kopf geschossen wird.

    So ein wichtiges und gutes Buch. Nur teilweise zu viele Erklärungen und ein etwas unflüssige Sprache machen es nicht ganz leicht lesbar.

    Everyone should read this book about a very smart and brave girl who speaks up for a simple cause: Education for everyone. Knowledge is our biggest weapon and every person in the world should have access to it! I could not agree more!!!
