Afghan prisoner (ru. Афганский арестант) is a book by the Russian traveler Viktor Pinchuk, who traveled to several continents, practicing the methods of hobo tourism. The literary work in the travel memoirs genre describes the author’s Afghan expedition, the route of which included seven Asian countries, where the priority was to visit Afghanistan. Temporary residence in a Pashtun family — the result of a casual street acquaintance with a simple guy from Mazar-i-Sharif, allowed the creator of the work to get acquainted with the life and life of the local population (which is one of the components of the cultural travel), and being in a Kabul prison gives the story some action-packed.
