I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban (Greek Edition)
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.

About the Author

Η Μαλάλα Γιουσαφζάι γεννήθηκε το 1997 στην κοιλάδα Σουάτ του Πακιστάν. Η φωνή της ακούστηκε πρώτη φορά σε διεθνές επίπεδο όταν σε ηλικία έντεκα ετών έγραψε στο BBC Urdu για τη ζωή υπό το καθεστώς των Ταλιμπάν. Τον Οκτώβριο του 2012, η Μαλάλα έγινε στόχος των Ταλιμπάν και πυροβολήθηκε στο κεφάλι επιστρέφοντας σπίτι της με το σχολικό λεωφορείο. Επέζησε από θαύμα και μεταφέρθηκε σε εξειδικευμένο νοσοκομείο του Μπέρμιγχαμ. Τον Μάρτιο του 2013, μετά από μια εντυπωσιακή ανάρρωση, επέστρεψε στα θρανία, στο Μπέρμιγχαμ αυτή τη φορά, όπου ζει με την οικογένειά της. Το 2013 ήταν υποψήφια για το Νόμπελ Ειρήνης, η νεότερη υποψήφια στην ιστορία του θεσ?ού, ενώ την ίδια χρονιά τής απονεμήθηκαν το Βραβείο Ζαχάρωφ και η ανώτατη διάκριση της Διεθνούς Αμνηστίας, το Ambassador of Conscience Award. Στις 12 Ιουλίου 2013, στα δέκατα έκτα γενέθλιά της, η Μαλάλα έδωσε ομιλία στην έδρα των Ηνωμένων Εθνών για τη σπουδαιότητα του δικαιώματος στην εκπαίδευση. Το βιβλίο της "Με λένε Μαλάλα", που έγραψε σε συνεργασία με την Κριστίνα Λαμ, απέσπασε το Specsavers National Book of the Year Award στην Αγγλία το 2013 και μεταφράστηκε σε όλες σχεδόν τις γλώσσες του κόσμου. Το 2014, στα δεκαεπτά της χρόνια, τιμήθηκε με το Βραβείο Νόμπελ Ειρήνης, από κοινού με τον Ινδό ακτιβιστή για τα δικαιώματα των παιδιών Kailash Satyarthi, "για τους αγώνες της εναντίον της καταπίεσης των παιδιών και των νέων και για την υπεράσπιση του δικαιώματος των παιδιών στην εκπαίδευση".
