Le cerf-volant

The Kite Runner is an unforgettable novel that takes us on a journey to Afghanistan from the late royal era until the rise of the Taliban and their seizure of power. It is a story of friendship that develops between two boys growing up together in Kabul, in the same house, but in two different worlds. Amir is the son of a wealthy businessman, while Hassan is the son of their Hazara servant, a despised ethnic minority. But when the Soviets invade Afghanistan, and Amir and his father flee the country in search of a new life in the United States, and Amir thinks he has finally succeeded in escaping the secret that haunts him, the memory of Hassan returns to pursue him. The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship, betrayal, and the cost of loyalty. It is a novel about the bonds between fathers and sons, about the truth that is revealed no matter how hard people try to hide it, describing the richness of culture and the beauty of nature in a country that has become a ruin. But with the destruction, Khaled Hosseini gives us hope, through the novel's belief in the power of reading and storytelling, and through the open path to atonement.
