Parvana tiene 11 años y vive en Afganistán bajo el mandato de los talibanes. Cuando detienen a su padre buscará una solución desesperada: convertirse en un chico. Parvana es una chica de once años que vive en Kabul, Afganistán, durante el gobierno de los talibanes a finales de la década de 1990. Cuando su padre es detenido, su familia –sin recursos para poder vivir-, buscará una solución desesperada: Parvana, que por ser mujer tiene prohibido ganar dinero, deberá transformarse en un chico. El pan de la guerra es un libro duro y realista que habla, con humanidad y fuerza, de la supervivencia, la familia, la amistad, la intolerancia y la guerra.

English Translation

The Breadwinner

Eleven-year-old Parvana lives in Kabul, Afghanistan, under Taliban rule. When her father is arrested, her family is left with no way to earn money—since women and girls are forbidden to work. Desperate, Parvana disguises herself as a boy to support her family. This powerful, unflinching novel explores survival, family bonds, friendship, and the harsh realities of war and intolerance, offering readers a moving portrait of courage and resilience amid unimaginable hardship in a country torn apart by conflict.
