From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shah Muhammad Rais (born 04/04/1954) from Afghanistan is the real life Bookseller of Kabul as told about in Åsne Seierstad’s book from 2002.
During a trip to Scandinavia in November 2005, he declared he was seeking asylum in either Norway or Sweden, as a political refugee. Things revealed about him in Seierstad’s book had made life for him and his family unsafe in Afghanistan, especially after the book has been published as bootlegs in Persian.
He has published his own version of the story, There once was a bookseller in Kabul.
