About the Book
James Michener published fifty books over a fifty year career as one of America’s best-loved novelists and essayists. His works, both fiction and non-fiction, were known for their prodigious research and educated as they entertained.
From his first work, Tales of the South Pacific, which was adapted to Broadway and film as South Pacific, James Michener became a fixture on the American writing scene. His books often were the number one selling titles for the industry in their initial year of release. A humble man, James Michener was also philanthropic.
Caravans is set in the years immediately following World War II - a young American woman, married and living in Afghanistan against her parents´ wishes, suddenly and mysteriously disappears. James Michener´s magnificent novel combines historical fact with a gripping adventure of romance, danger, and intrigue as it follows the story of the military man who is assigned the task of finding and returning the young woman to her distraught family. Caravans captures the tension of the postwar period, the sweep of Afghanistan´s remarkable history, the allure of the past, and the inescapable pull of the future.
The history, of course, is all the more contemporary in the wake of September 11.
