Baghdād is a city in Wardak Province in central Afghanistan.
“I have seen the greatest of cities that are known for their perfection and refinement, in the lands of Syria and the Greeks and other countries, but I have never seen a city like Baghdad whose roofs are so high, a city which is so round or more noble, the gates of which are wider and the walls better. It is as if the city were cast into a mould and poured out.”
“Baghdad among the lands is like a master among slaves.”
“Two people, one city, different times; connected by a memoir. Can love exist in a city destined for decades of misery?”
“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
“Baghdad is safe, protected. There are no American infidels in Baghdad.”
“Then I journeyed through many regions and saw many a city intending for Baghdad, that I might seek audience, in the House of Peace, with the Commander of the Faithful and tell him all that had befallen me.”
