À propos de cet audio

 Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable and beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara - a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him.

The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship and betrayal, and about the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons - their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But through the devastation, Khaled Hosseini offers hope for redemption.

Beautifully written, satisfying story. Loved all of the characters and all of their complexities. it started off a little slow, but instantly picked back up. Characters are well thought out, and the events that take place in the plot are so saddening but necessary to read.

ADDICTING!!

The Kite Runner is both heartbreaking and hopeful. The plot complex enough to keep you reading eagerly until twists and turns guide you to the end. The book also gives relevance to world history and gives you as the reader intense compassion and understanding for the Afghan people. Rich in detail, interest and emotion remain high as one reads this moving and rich novel.

Heartbreaking and hopeful
