À propos de ce produit

Product Information

The New York Times bestseller and international classic loved by millions of readers. The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies. A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.

[A] poignant debut novel...The Kite Runner offers a moving portrait of modern Afghanistan. [Rating: A]. (Entertainment Weekly) A powerful book...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation. (Washington Post Book World), "A moving portrait of modern Afghanistan."- Entertainment Weekly "This powerful first novel...tells the story of fierce cruelty and fierce yet redeeming love. Both transform the life of Amir, Khaled Hosseini's privileged young narrator, who comes of age during the last peaceful days of the monarchy, just before his country's revolution and its invasion by Russian forces. But political events, even as dramatic as the ones that are presented in The Kite Runner , are only a part of this story. In The Kite Runner , Khaled Hosseini gives us a vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence-forces that continue to threaten them even today."- The New York Times Book Review - The New York Times Book Review "A powerful book...no frills, no nonsense, just hard, spare prose...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us. Parts of The Kite Runner are raw and excruciating to read, yet the book in its entirety is lovingly written."- The Washington Post Book World "An astonishing, powerful book."-Diane Sawyer, [A] poignant debut novel... The Kite Runner offers a moving portrait of modern Afghanistan. [Rating: A]. ( Entertainment Weekly ) A powerful book...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation.

Good Condition
The book came two days earlier and it’s in good condition although there is a bit or wear and tear but I expected that. I haven’t read this book since high school and I’m so excited to have it and read it again, it was one of my favorite reads. As well as add it to my book collection also.

Excellent story, characters, plot - Recommended +
This was our Book Club selection, and not normally one I would pick up on my own. I am so glad I read it ... it was very well written. The plot moves along at just the right pace and includes just the right amount of imagery and detail. I learned so much about Afghanistan and their culture besides what you usually see on CNN or reading an article. The story takes place before the Russian invasion and then the Taliban, but includes both of those as the story progresses. The characters are unforgettable and very well "drawn." It traces Amir's boyhood in his home country and his eventual settling in America. It traces Amir's friendship and so much more with Hassan, with whom he grew up. At many times, the book was excruciating to read, but extremely well worth sticking with it to see ... This was our Book Club selection, and not normally one I would pick up on my own.

At many times, the book was excruciating to read, but extremely well worth sticking with it to see what happens to even the secondary characters. I still find myself reflecting on the title and how it related to the story ... I recommend it to anyone looking for a book that is not just a "fluffy summer read."

Kite Runner
This book was a great story about a young boy from the middle east and the challenges he faced. I don't really remember too much about it, but overall the book was pretty good and it's not too hard to read. The only difficulty in reading would be the middle eastern names of people, but that is a minor challenge. As for the plot itself, it is refreshing to see through the eyes of a young middle-eastern boy (Amir). He is often criticized by his father for not being "manly" and compared to his friend Hassan. I won't spoil the book anymore it's one that you have to read. There are a couple graphic scenes so I would suggest that the reader should be at least 13 or mature enough to understand the situations.This book was a great story about a young boy from the middle east and the challenges he faced.

GREAT BOOK HIGHLY RECOMENDED
The earth turns and the wind blows and sometimes some marvelous scrap of paper is blown against the fence for us to find. And once found, we become aware there are places out there that are both foreign and familiar. Funny what the wind brings. And now it brings "The Kite Runner," a beautiful novel by Afghan-American Khaled Hosseini that ranks among the best-written and provocative stories of the year so far. Hosseini's first novel -- and the first Afghan novel to be written originally in English -- "The Kite Runner" tells a heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between Amir, the son of a wealthy Afghan businessman, and Hassan, the son of his father's servant.

The earth turns and the wind blows and sometimes some marvelous scrap of paper is blown against the fence for us to find. And once found, we become aware there are places out there that are both foreign and familiar. Funny what the wind brings. And now it brings "The Kite Runner," a beautiful novel by Afghan-American Khaled Hosseini that ranks among the best-written and provocative stories of the year so far. Hosseini's first novel -- and the first Afghan novel to be written originally in English -- "The Kite Runner" tells a heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between Amir, the son of a wealthy Afghan businessman, and Hassan, the son of his father's servant. Amir is Sunni; Hassan is Shi'a. One is born to a privileged class; the other to a loathed minority. One to a father of enormous presence; the other to a crippled man. One is a voracious reader; the other illiterate. The poor Hassan is born with a hare lip, but Amir's gaps are better hidden, deep inside. Yet Amir and Hassan live and play together, not simply as friends, but as brothers without mothers. Their intimate story traces across the expansive canvas of history, 40 years in Afghanistan's tragic evolution, like a kite under a gathering storm. The reader is blown from the last days of Kabul's monarchy -- salad days in which the boys lives' are occupied with school, welcome snows, American cowboy movies and neighborhood bullies -- into the atrocities of the Taliban, which turned the boys' green playing fields red with blood. This unusually eloquent story is also about the fragile relationship fathers and sons, humans and their gods, men and their countries. Loyalty and blood are the ties that bind their stories into one of the most lyrical, moving and unexpected books of this year. Hosseini's title refers to a traditional tournament for Afghan children in which kite-flyers compete by slicing through the strings of their opponents with their own razor-sharp, glass-encrusted strings. To be the child who wins the tournament by downing all the other kites -- and to be the "runner" who chases down the last losing kite as it flutters to earth -- is the greatest honor of all. And in that metaphor of flyer and runner, Hosseini's story soars. And fear not, gentle reader. This isn't a "foreign" book. Unlike Boris Pasternak's "Dr. Zhivago," Hosseini's narrative resonates with familiar rhythms and accessible ideas, all in prose that equals or exceeds the typical American story form. While exotic Afghan customs and Farsi words pop up occasionally, they are so well-defined for the reader that the book is enlightening and fascinating, not at all tedious. Nor is it a dialectic on Islam. Amir's beloved father, Baba, is the son of a wise judge who enjoys his whiskey, television, and the perks of capitalism. A moderate in heart and mind, Hosseini has little good to say about Islamic extremism. "The Kite Runner" is a song in a new key. Hosseini is an exhilaratingly original writer with a gift for irony and a gentle, perceptive heart. His canvas might be a place and time Americans are only beginning to understand, but he paints his art on the page, where it is intimate and poignant.
