Malala Yousafzai

    Malala Yousafzai è un'attivista pakistana per l'istruzione femminile e la più giovane vincitrice del Premio Nobel. È nota per la sua difesa dei diritti umani durata tutta la vita, in particolare per l'istruzione delle donne nella sua nativa Swat Valley, dove i Talebani locali avevano a volte vietato alle ragazze di frequentare la scuola. Il suo attivismo è da allora cresciuto fino a diventare un movimento internazionale per l'istruzione delle ragazze in tutto il mondo.

      Valle dello Swat, Pakistan, 9 ottobre 2012, ore dodici. La scuola è finita, e Malala insieme alle sue compagne è sul vecchio bus che la riporta a casa. All'improvviso un uomo sale a bordo e spara tre proiettili, colpendola in pieno volto e lasciandola in fin di vita. Malala ha appena quindici anni, ma per i talebani è colpevole di aver gridato al mondo sin da piccola il suo desiderio di leggere e studiare. Per questo deve morire. Ma Malala non muore: la sua guarigione miracolosa sarà l'inizio di un viaggio straordinario dalla remota valle in cui è nata fino all'assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite. Oggi Malala è il simbolo universale delle donne che combattono per il diritto alla cultura e al sapere, ed è stata la più giovane candidata di sempre al Premio Nobel per la Pace. Questo libro è la storia vera e avvincente come un romanzo della sua vita coraggiosa, un inno alla tolleranza e al diritto all'educazione di tutti i bambini, il racconto appassionato di una voce capace di cambiare il mondo.

      How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight? Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes readers beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human. In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny - and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.

      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 has become 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.

    • *Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize* In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing a blog on BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in both Pakistani and international media, advocating the freedom to pursue education for all. In October 2011, gunmen boarded Malala's school bus and shot her in the face, a bullet passing through her head and into her shoulder. Remarkably, Malala survived the shooting. At a very young age, Malala Yousafzai has become a worldwide symbol of courage and hope. Her shooting has sparked a wave of solidarity across Pakistan, not to mention globally, for the right to education, freedom from terror and female emancipation.
