With The Bookseller of Kabul, award-winning journalist Asne Seierstad has given readers a first-hand look at Afghani life as few outsiders have seen it. Invited to live with Sultan Khan, a bookseller in Kabul, and his family for months, this account of her experience allows the Khans to speak for themselves, giving us a genuinely gripping and moving portrait of a family, and of a country of great cultural riches and extreme contradictions. For more than 20 years, Sultan Khan has defied the authorities -- whether Communist or Taliban -- to supply books to the people of Kabul. He has been arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned, and has watched illiterate Taliban soldiers burn piles of his books in the street. Yet he had persisted in his passion for books, shedding light in one of the world's darkest places. This is the intimate portrait of a man of principle and of his family -- two wives, five children, and many relatives sharing a small four-room house in this war ravaged city. But more than that, it is a rare look at contemporary life under Islam, where even after the Taliban's collapse, the women must submit to arranged marriages, polygamous husbands, and crippling limitations on their ability to travel, learn and communicate with others.Binding Type: Paperback

Overall a good buy.
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Got this for $150 on sale. The screen appears good and no dead pixels. I will say the speakers are not great and sound muffled (reason behind 4 stars). It seems to be a solid built monitor though and so far has worked great for my uses. Comes with included HDMI cable as well, that always helps!

Dont walk, run! (To your cart with this)
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. Big screen! The sound capability is nice for those who don't have speakers, but he usually uses a headset. Being able to adjust the height and angle is great. Color is vibrant and crystal clear. Awesome for gaming and making sure he can see clear is important, quality is as good, if not better than expected and really no need to adjust brightness as it is perfect as is.

Great monitor great price
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Looks very clear and feels very sturdy. Bought two for work and looks amazing and clear. Connects very ez and quickly. Only issue and doesn’t have to do with the monitor, is that the power cable and HDMI included are but short for my liking think it’s like 3-4 ft
