«Paisajes de guerra» is Juan Goytisolo's essay on the conflicts between the West and Islamic societies, published by Aguilar in paperback, with the subtitle «Sarajevo, Argelia, Palestina, Chechenia» (368 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together the journeys Juan Goytisolo made in the 1990s through four war zones: Bosnia, Algeria, Palestine and Chechnya. In each setting, the author combines historical documentation with first-person reportage to analyse how the West's historical prejudice towards Islam conditions current relations between the two cultures and keeps an ideological and political confrontation alive.
Work by Spanish author Juan Goytisolo, originally published in 2001 by Aguilar, focusing on the Yugoslav War, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Chechen War.
It will appeal to readers of essays, history and travel journalism who want to approach the conflicts of the 1990s from a critical and personal perspective.
