From to , Afghanistan experienced a series of revolts by various tribes. Zahir Shah was able to govern on his own during [11] and despite the factionalism and political infighting a new constitution was introduced during which made Afghanistan a modern democratic state by introducing free elections , a parliament, civil rights , women's rights and . Some groups believe these moves paved the way for the eventual communist takeover in By the time he returned to Afghanistan in , his rule was characterized by a lengthy span of peace. As a former Prime Minister, Daoud Khan had been forced to resign by Zahir Shah a decade earlier [22] and felt that Zahir Shah lacked leadership and that the parliamentary system prevented real progressivism.

In during the Soviet—Afghan War , Zahir Shah was cautiously involved with plans to develop a government in exile. Ultimately these plans failed because he could not reach a consensus with powerful Islamist factions. This reportedly led to a spark of interest and approval among the Kabul populace. However, the idea of a revived political role for Zahir Shah was met with hostility by some, notably radical Islamist . In , Zahir Shah survived an attempt on his life by a knife-wielding assassin masquerading as a Portuguese journalist. On 18 April , at the age of 87 and four months after the end of rule , Zahir Shah returned to Afghanistan, flown in an Italian military plane , and welcomed at Kabul's airport by and other officials. I do not care about the title of king. The people call me Baba and I prefer this title. This title ended with his death.

The Zahir means 'the obvious' or 'conspicuous' in Arabic. The story revolves around the life of the narrator , a bestselling novelist, and in particular his search for his missing wife, Esther. He enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring. He is suspected of foul play by both the police and the press, who suspect that he may have had a role in the inexplicable disappearance of his wife from their Paris home. As a result of this disappearance, the protagonist is forced to re-examine his own life as well as his marriage. The narrator is unable to figure out what led to Esther's disappearance. Was she abducted or had she abandoned the marriage? He encounters Mikhail, one of Esther's friends, during a book launch.

The narrator, who only too frequently falls in love with women, consults with his current lover, Marie, about his encounters with Mikhail. She warns him that Mikhail could be an epileptic. However, she also advises him to search for the Zahir as is his desire, even though she would prefer him to stay with her. The narrator eventually decides to go in search of his Zahir. Zahir Intl.

Nov 16, Jen rated it it was ok Shelves: drama. So far my least favorite of Coelho's books. A woman leaves her husband with no explanation to find out how to be happy. She leaves no note, no messenger, takes nothing, just seems to disappear. He finds himself in the journey and learns he needs to look for her because he loves her, not because he is obsessed. Along the way other hearts get broken. Quotes: "When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive - I'll find love again. And love changes the laws of nature. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused. View all 13 comments.

Only earns it's 1 as the prose was easy to read and well written for what it was. If you would like to read a book about how fantastic Coelho thinks he is, this is for you. Paulo Coelho is a knob. I dislike this man, his opinions and his writing. I have read The Alchemist and the The Fifth Mountain in the past and have felt that they were completely 1 star. I have read The Alchemist and the The Fifth Mountain in the past and have felt that they were completely over rated. Then a friend links all these "insightful" quotes from him all the time on Facebook. And then there is this article from earlier this month. But all of these were forgivable. Until I read this book. This book lead me to one conclusion. Paulo Coelho is a complete wanker. This book, The Zahir, is about an amazing author who is famous, incredibly successful with the ladies, intelligent, accomplished, and did I mention a brilliant writer? Maybe I need to tell you again how good a writer the author is. He is married, but has many girlfriends as he is incredibly attractive, and his wife who is a journalist goes missing. He mopes for a bit, while being a brilliant, amazing writer, but then gets an actress girlfriend. He then gets approached by a man who knows where his wife is, and he has to rediscover himself, by writing another ground-breaking book and some other stuff, before he can go find her. But the actress stays with him until he leaves, because he's great. In case you forget how wonderful he is, he points out randomly how many languages nearly all the languages in the world he has been translated into. The books themselves, while wonderful, are not him or his ideas. Yeah right. Get your hand off it. Also he mentions the Zimbardo prison experiment at one stage, because he can. No idea. It wasn't important or necessary. It was in fact completely out of place, not to mention wrong, and seemed to be mentioned to show off how intelligent he was. My "favourite" part, was after he came home from spending all night out wandering Paris with the "Tribe" and then come home and didn't want to turn on the tv because they had "run out of things to talk about" so were covering a story of a rebellion in Haiti. So he goes on this whole rant about how is a rebellion important to him as a rich, incredibly successful author in Paris! Who cares! I just wanted to slap him the narrow minded prick! As well as all of this he seems incredibly unhinged as well. He screams at his girlfriend after being out all night with the Tribe, mentioned above, and she doesn't ask him where he was. So therefore as she is not jealous not interested, jealous he screams at her for not loving him any more. Besides the fact he has been moaning on about his wife who he loves who has left him for the whole book. I was beyond loving him at p5, no wonder the girlfriend seemed to have had enough by p But she hadn't really. She really thought he was great. You know why? Because this unnamed author is fucking fantastic, just ask him. Why did I finish it? Because I wanted to find out what happened to his wife and girlfriend as I liked them not worth it, it ended all about him , it was only pp, and it was orange for a rainbow challenge. It gets 1. Actually, no. After writing this, 1. View all 19 comments. Recommended to Nour by: no one, thankfully. That means I don't have to kill anyone yet. Shelves: many-people , english , translated , others , Where do I start? This is how this book briefly was written. Careful, this review contains spoilers! Paulo in this extravagant novel is searching for his wife who decided to leave no trace of her whereabouts to him because she felt unhappy. Unhappy because he doesn't understand her, beca 2. Unhappy because he doesn't understand her, because he is always too busy because bla bla bla bla bla. I think in his mind, Coelho created the impossible kind of woman. I would never suspect that a woman would be ok with her husband having affairs all the time and when he says that he doesn't want her anymore, she puts her foot down and says NO, you do want me. Annd then when he finds out that she left him, and that now, in the end of the book, she's pregnant, he's cool with it. He's very cool. There's NO guy out there like that no matter how good he is. After 7 books, I finally would express my dismay!!! The picture below will explain what I am feeling right now. His philosophy is very shallow and cheesy. I am not going to start lecturing people on MY philosophy. I am not here to do that. But I want to say that sometimes some things are more important than personal happiness and that NO ONE is happy except the ignorant. So I am happy with my unhappiness, thank you very much, Coelho. I hate his philosophy and his of writing ok, I know. I am reading the translation BUT is very annoying, disturbing, and it feels like he took extra doses of drugs while writing all of his books. This is me only. He puts his religiousness in a very cheesy concept. And he goes on and on talking about the energy of love and how it would save our lives. Dude, I know that shit, I really do. Your books are dull, very dull, and boring. I know I know I shouldn't read them if I don't like them but curiosity gets the best of me. I try to read any book I set my eyes upon no matter how good and bad it is. The only thing I liked about this book is his obsession with his wife. Nice idea. It is very new, especially since people rarely admit about their obsessions. View all 33 comments. Jan 03, Reshma rated it really liked it. I have to say, at times I found myself obsessed with this book about obsession. At times, it didn't quite flow or seemed to bring in random points, but I felt like I just "got it" and completely understood where he was coming from. Coelho's words resonated deeply within me, and in fact, helped me to "see" and unlock some feelings that I haven't been able to understand for quite some time. In that sense, it was like an Eat, Pray, Love for me. Not to compare authors, literary styles, or anything l I have to say, at times I found myself obsessed with this book about obsession. Not to compare authors, literary styles, or anything like that - I'm only making the comparison in terms of what both books evoked in me. So for those of who you weren't such fans of Ms. Gilbert's book, don't let that dissuade you from reading this one. A few quotes from the Zahir that I particularly liked were: " I came to realize that I was always looking for myself in the women I loved. I had convinced myself that I could only be happy with her, not because I loved her more than anything and anyone in the world, but because I thought only she could understand me; she knew my likes, my eccentricities, my way of seeing the world I was used to seeing the world through her eyes. The Zahir tells an incredible journey of a man whose wife has left the house without letting him know. His search for her and the meaning of their marriage and above all, Paulo Coelho's writing is spectacular to watch. Nov 26, Clare rated it did not like it. I was diasspointed with this and I would consider myself a fan of Paolo Coelho. I just don't think this lived up to his usual work. The plot was weak and there was a lot of annoying, sentimental stream-of-consciousness drivel about the meaning of love and the meaning of life. It's true that these are Coelho's usual themes but I think he's gotten a bit carried away with all the sentiment in this novel and forgotten the story in the process. The only thing that kept me reading until the end was my I was diasspointed with this and I would consider myself a fan of Paolo Coelho.

The Zahir is "someone or something which, once we have come into contact with them or it, gradually occupies our every thought, until we can think of nothing else. This can be considered either a state of holiness or of madness. Plus, the story initially lured me. A writer's war correspondent wife goes missing. At first he's treated like a suspect until it's determined that she wasn't abduct The Zahir is "someone or something which, once we have come into contact with them or it, gradually occupies our every thought, until we can think of nothing else. At first he's treated like a suspect until it's determined that she wasn't abducted. But where did she go and why did she leave him? Who did she leave with? The otherness of their relationship appeals. Imagine settling in with this book to see how the story ebbs and flows, to see where the self-revelatory journey takes the main character. Only to be disappointed later. A year later, I wake thinking about the story by Jorge Luis Borges, about something which, once touched or seen, can never be forgotten, and which gradually so fills our thoughts that we are driven to madness. My Zahir is not a romantic metaphor - a blind man, a compass, a tiger, or a coin. It has a name, and her name is Esther. This book doesn't end the way you would think. In fact, what happens in between this search, what the narrator uncovers, isn't what you would have envisioned. The events that center around spirituality and self actualization, events that center around the energy placed into the world by certain thoughts or actions, sometimes come across as trivial, and in some instances, forced. And those restaurant scenes, how people who live in poverty, and people who choose a different path in spiritual and physical life are depicted, were just exasperating. The gist is, a man is on a quest to love the wife he's undervalued for years although he has a lover at home , and in this quest he meets people whose lives she's inspired, even if you don't truly get to see the evolution in these lives.
