Khaled Hosseini. And the Mountains Echoed
Khaled Hosseini, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.

Hosseini Khaled A Thousand Splendid Suns
After more than 189 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list for The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today. Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love. Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival. A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.

The two are inseparable, and when twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament, his loyal friend promises to help him. But neither boy can predict what will happen to Hassan that afternoon – as the kites soar over the city – and how it will change their lives forever.

Hosseini Khaled Am Abend vor dem Meer
»›Am Abend vor dem Meer‹ ist der Versuch, die Millionen von Familien zu ehren, die auseinandergerissen und gezwungen wurden, ihre Heimat zu verlassen.« Khaled Hosseini Khaled Hosseini, Autor der Weltbestseller »Drachenlaufer«, »Traumsammler« und »Tausend strahlende Sonnen«, hat eine Erzahlung geschaffen, die auf wenigen Seiten die beruhrende Geschichte einer Fluchtlingsfamilie aus Syrien umrei?t. Am 2. September 2015 ertrank Alan Kurdi bei dem Versuch, sich uber das Mittelmeer nach Europa in Sicherheit zu bringen. Er war drei Jahre alt und stammte aus Syrien. Khaled Hosseini war selbst ein Fluchtlingsjunge, der fern von seinem Heimatland Afghanistan aufwuchs. Diese Erfahrung von Trennung und Heimweh pragt die einzigartige emotionale Kraft seiner Bucher und wurde fur ihn schriftstellerischer Antrieb wie gesellschaftspolitischer Auftrag: Seit vielen Jahren unterhalt er eine eigene Stiftung und ist Sonderbotschafter des UNHCR. In »Am Abend vor dem Meer« kommt beides zusammen. Die atmospharisch dichte Erzahlung, eindringlich farbig illustriert von Dan Williams, erzahlt in einem Brief eines Vaters an seinen Sohn vom Abschied von zu Hause und der Gefahr der Uberfahrt auf der Flucht.
