A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan?s last thirty years - from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to the post-Taliban rebuilding?that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives?the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness - are inextricable from the history playing out around them.
Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love?a stunning accomplishment Editora: Penguin Books Autor: KHALED HOSSEINI ISBN: 1594489513 Origem: Nacional Ano: 2007 Edição: 1 Número de páginas: 372 Acabamento: Brochura Formato: Médio
