Description

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (2004 ed.)

Khaled Hosseini’s internationally acclaimed debut novel, The Kite Runner, is a deeply moving story of friendship, betrayal, and the long road to redemption. Set against the backdrop of Afghanistan’s turbulent modern history—from the fall of the monarchy through the Soviet invasion and rise of the Taliban—the novel follows Amir, a privileged boy from Kabul, and Hassan, the son of his father’s servant, whose bond is tested by a single, devastating act.

Hosseini explores the emotional aftermath of guilt and the powerful need to make amends, sending Amir on a journey that spans continents and decades as he confronts the shadows of his past. Themes of father–son relationships, loyalty, and the cost of silence give the book its enduring resonance.

Since its publication in 2003, The Kite Runner has become a modern classic, earning widespread praise and captivating millions of readers worldwide. It remains a poignant, unforgettable novel about the ties that bind us—and the choices that define us.
