Navid Kermani's reportage about his travels in a world marked by restlessness, purport to be merely observations and not judgements. They examine conflict-ridden countries and regions of the Arab world such as Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Palestine. The pieces were written between 2005 and 2014.
