Samar Yazbek was well known in her native Syria as a writer and a journalist but, in 2011, she fell foul of the Assad regime and was forced to flee. Since then, determined to bear witness to the suffering of her people, she bravely revisited her homeland by squeezing through a hole in the fence on the Turkish border. In The Crossing, she testifies to the appalling reality that is Syria today. From the first innocent demonstrations for democracy, through the beginnings of the Free Syrian Army, to the arrival of ISIS, she offers remarkable snapshots of soldiers, children, ordinary men and women simply trying to stay alive...Some of these stories are of hardship and brutality that is hard to bear, but she also gives testimony to touches of humanity along the way- how people live under the gaze of a sniper...how principled young men try to resist orders from their military superiors...how children cope in the bunkers... Yazbek's portraits of life in Syria are very real, her prose is luminous. The Crossingwill undoubtedly become a classic- as both a historical document and a work of literature.

«Il libro di Samar Yazbek (…) cerca non tanto di raccontare l’indicibile, ma di strappare qualcosa al nulla, di far emergere dai buchi neri della Storia una traccia di umanità, di captare nel cuore della notte una lucina simile a quella emessa dagli astri morti, dalle lucciole o dalle anime erranti
