He was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and moved to US in 1980. He wrote The Kite Runner,an international bestseller.
After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of The Kite Runner shipped, 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.
——读《灿烂千阳》 孤松 在地球上大多数地方,女人得以解放,真正成为“半边天”。但阅读《追风筝的人》作者胡赛尼最新的小说《灿烂千阳》,你会接触到另一种景况:阿富汗女人的悲惨生活。 在阿富汗,女人的地位和命运原本就十分悲惨。不能接受教育,不准外出工作,不准露...
评分相对于《追风筝的人》来说《灿烂千阳》是一个极其冗长的故事,它的每一细节都能令人深省。 从故事的最开始,娜娜和扎里勒告诉玛丽雅姆两个截然不同的故事,娜娜告诉她世界的绝望,而扎里勒则告诉她希望。但或许娜娜所说的更接近事实真相,她更爱玛丽雅姆。但是被世...

评分胡赛尼,一鸣惊人的作品《追风筝的孩子》,已经是这几年难以被超越的小说,可是让我非常惊讶的是,胡赛尼的第二部小说《灿烂千阳》,居然更甚于前者。在阿富汗战乱的年代下,胡赛尼发挥了极具感染力的叙事技巧,把毁灭的悲剧、细腻的情感与人性的坚韧,往读者的内心更推进...
marveling at how every Afghan story is marked by death and loss and unimaginable grief
评分我还是去看中文版的了。
评分因为经过最黑暗,站在阳光里才觉得愉快和平静。PS用iPad读英文书实在方便,大好。
评分语言优美,值得学习。不过一个作家也许可以一生都写阿富汗,但是不能总是这三十年来动乱的历史。
评分真的很感人……幸好结局不错
