Khaled Hosseini Ordre des livres

"Ah nasıl yakarıyorum denize bunu bilmesi için.” Uçurtma Avcısı, Bin Muhteşem Güneş, Ve Dağlar Yankılandı romanları ile tüm dünyada milyonlar tarafından okunmayı sürdüren Khaled Hosseini'den olağanüstü bir ağıt! Hosseini'nin, 2015 yılının Eylül ayında, Avrupa'da güvenli bir yere ulaşmaya çalışırken Akdeniz'de boğulan ve cansız cesedi kıyıya vuran üç yaşındaki Suriyeli mülteci Aylan Kurdi'nin hikayesinden esinlenerek kaleme aldığı Deniz Duası, mülteci sorununa son derece çarpıcı bir bakış getiriyor. Suriyeli bir babanın, sonu belirsiz bir yolculuğa çıkmadan önce, oğluna yazdığı bir mektup şeklinde tasarlanmış olan metin, savaştan ve zulümden kaçarken denizlerde kaybolan binlerce mülteciye adanmış. Deniz Duası'nın tüm gelirini, iyi niyet elçisi olarak görev aldığı Birleşmiş Milletler Mülteciler Yüksek Komiserliği (UNHCR) ve Khaled Hosseini Foundation'a aktaran Hosseini, (UNHCR) mülteci kamplarını ziyaret etmeye, çeşitli platformlarda bu sorunu dile getirmeye ve bağış toplamaya devam ediyor. "Ama o hayat, o dönem şimdi bana bile sahte geliyor, unutulup gitmiş bir söylenti gibi."

A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller A deeply moving, gorgeously illustrated short story for people of all ages from the international bestselling author of The Kite Runner, brought to life by Dan Williams's beautiful illustrations 'The book may be brief, but it is beautiful, poetic - a distillation of his strengths' Sunday Times On a moonlit beach a father cradles his sleeping son as they wait for dawn to break and a boat to arrive. He speaks to his boy of the long summers of his childhood, recalling his grandfather's house in Syria, the stirring of olive trees in the breeze, the bleating of his grandmother's goat, the clanking of her cooking pots. And he remembers, too, the bustling city of Homs with its crowded lanes, its mosque and grand souk, in the days before the sky spat bombs and they had to flee. When the sun rises they and those around them will gather their possessions and embark on a perilous sea journey in search of a new home. Proceeds from the sale of Sea Prayer will go to The Khaled Hosseini Foundation and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency to help fund life-saving support and build better futures for refugees around the world.

Ошеломляющий дебютный роман, который уже называют главным романом нового века, а его автора - живым классиком. "Бегущий за ветром" - проникновенная, пробирающая до самого нутра история о дружбе и верности, о предательстве и искуплении. Нежный, тонкий, ироничный и по-хорошему сентиментальный, роман Халеда Хоссейни напоминает живописное полотно, которое можно разглядывать бесконечно. Амира и Хасана разделяла пропасть. Один принадлежал к местной аристократии, другой - к презираемому меньшинству. У одного отец был красив и важен, у другого - хром и жалок. Один был запойным читателем, другой - неграмотным. Заячью губу Хасана видели все, уродливые же шрамы Амира были скрыты глубоко внутри. Но не найти людей ближе, чем эти два мальчика. Их история разворачивается на фоне кабульской идиллии, которая вскоре сменится грозными бурями. Мальчики - словно два бумажных змея, которые подхватила эта буря и разметала в разные стороны. У каждого своя судьба, своя трагедия, но они, как и в детстве, связаны прочнейшими узами. Роман стал одним из самых ярких явлений в мировой литературе последних лет. В названии своей книги писатель вспоминает традиционную забаву афганских мальчишек - сражения бумажных змеев. Победить соперников и остаться в одиночестве парить в бездонном синем небе - настоящее детское счастье. Ты бежишь за змеем и ветром, как бежишь за своей судьбой, пытаясь поймать ее. Но поймает она тебя.

So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one...Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Abdullah, Pari - as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named - is everything. More like a parent than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night they sleep together in their cot, their heads touching, their limbs tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to Kabul with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand. Crossing generations and continents, moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos, with profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways in which we help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through history and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.
