Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes listeners beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.

In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing a blog on BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in both Pakistani and international media, advocating the freedom to pursue education for all. In October 2012, gunmen boarded Malala's school bus and shot her in the face, a bullet passing through her head and into her shoulder. Remarkably, Malala survived the shooting. At a very young age, Malala Yousafzai has become a worldwide symbol of courage and hope.

Nach dem Attentat der Taliban auf ihr Leben wurde Malala unvermittelt auf die öffentliche Bühne gestoßen und schnell zur international bekannten Symbolfigur für Mut und Resilienz. Doch fern der Kameras und Menschenmengen brauchte sie Jahre, um ihren Platz in einer ihr nicht vertrauten Welt zu finden. Nun nimmt Malala in Finding My Way ihre Hörerinnen und Hörer erstmals mit in die Welt hinter den Schlagzeilen – in einem zutiefst verletzlichen und überraschenden Memoir voller Authentizität, Humor und Zärtlichkeit.

Written in collaboration with critically acclaimed National Book Award finalist Patricia McCormick, Malala tells her story - from her childhood in the Swat Valley to the shooting, her recovery and new life in England. She's a girl who loves cricket, gossips with her best friends, and, on the day of the shooting, nearly overslept and missed an exam. A girl who saw women suddenly banned from public, schools blown up, the Taliban seize control, and her homeland descend into a state of fear and repression.

Starting with her own story of displacement as an internally displaced person, Malala introduces listeners to what it means to lose your home, your community and the only world you've ever known. She shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her various journeys to refugee camps and the cities where refugee girls and their families have settled. The anecdotes focus on different parts of each girl's story - from what it was like the day she left her home to what daily life is like in a refugee camp.

For over 20 years, Ziauddin Yousafzai has been fighting for equality - first for Malala, his daughter, and then for all girls throughout the world living in patriarchal societies. Taught as a young boy in Pakistan to believe that he was inherently better than his sisters, Ziauddin rebelled against inequality at a young age. And when he had a daughter himself he vowed that Malala would have an education, something usually only given to boys, and he founded a school that Malala could attend.

Ihre Geschichte sorgte international für Erschütterung: Am 9. Oktober 2012 wird die junge Pakistanerin Malala Yousafzai auf ihrem Schulweg von Taliban-Kämpfern überfallen und brutal niedergeschossen. Die Fünfzehnjährige hatte sich den Taliban widersetzt, die Mädchen verbieten, zur Schule zu gehen. Obendrein führte sie für die BBC ein vielbeachtetes Blog über ihren Alltag unter den Islamisten. Damit war ihr Todesurteil gefällt. Die Kugel traf Malala aus nächster Nähe in den Kopf; doch wie durch ein Wunder kam das mutige Mädchen mit dem Leben davon. Schon kurz danach hat sie erklärt, dass dieser Anschlag sie nicht davon abhalten wird, auch weiterhin für die Rechte von Kindern, insbesondere Mädchen, einzutreten. Dies ist ihre Geschichte.

Lançada aos holofotes públicos aos quinze anos, após o atentado perpetrado pelo Talibã contra sua vida, Malala logo se transformou em um ícone internacional, símbolo de bravura e resiliência. Mas, longe das câmeras e das multidões, a garota passou anos lutando para se encontrar em um mundo desconhecido. Agora, Malala apresenta aos leitores—e pela primeira vez—sua trajetória para além das manchetes. No meu caminho é um livro de memórias franco e surpreendente, escrito com originalidade, humor e ternura.

Lorsque les talibans ont pris le contrôle de la vallée du Swat, au Pakistan, une toute jeune fille a élevé la voix. Refusant l'ignorance à laquelle la condamnait le fanatisme, Malala Yousafzai résolut de se battre pour continuer d'aller à l'école. Son courage faillit lui coûter la vie. Le 9 octobre 2012, alors qu'elle n'avait que quinze ans, elle fut grièvement blessée par un taliban dans un car scolaire. Cet attentat censé la faire taire n'a que renforcé sa conviction dans son combat.
