Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express

Saviuc diana a dat nota:

O carte care, inevitabil, îți va fura câteva lacrimi și îți va stârni numeroase întrebări fără răspuns: • Ce sens are războiul? • Cum încolțește cruzimea în om? • Există loialitate fără limite? • Poți trăi cu mustrările de conștiință? • Este bunătatea leacul pentru vinovăție? • Ce este credința? Cum poate un agresor să se închine la același Dumnezeu la care se închină și victima lui? • Poate fi acuzat un copil pentru lipsa de etică? Am parcurs cartea cu sufletul tulburat. L-am compătimit pe Hassan și am empatizat cu Amir (sau poate chiar invers). Am plâns pentru Sohrab și m-am simțit neputincioasă, dar, totuși, norocoasă că trăiesc într-un ,,pătrățel” de siguranță. Romanul lui Hosseini e o lectură în contrast cu coloritul unui zmeu. Povestea copiilor afgani este în contrast cu libertatea unui zmeu. Regretele sunt în contrast cu zâmbetele unor vânători de zmeie. ,,Vânătorii de zmeie” merită 5⭐️ și mult mai multe lacrimi. Mie mi-a reamintit că realitatea mea nu e realitatea generală și că trebuie, din când în când, să scoatem capul în lume pentru o doză de adevăr (fie el și neplăcut, dureros).

Notă biografică

Khaled Hosseini is the author of The Kite Runner, which was a major film and was a Book of the Decade, chosen by The Times, Daily Telegraph and Guardian. A Thousand Splendid Suns was the Richard & Judy Best Read of the Year in 2008. And the Mountains Echoed was chosen for the Richard & Judy Summer Book Club in 2014, and readers voted it as their favourite of all the titles. Hosseini is also a Goodwill Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the UN Refugee Agency, and the founder of The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation which provides humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan. Sea Prayer, his fourth book, was inspired by Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed upon the beach in Turkey in September 2015. Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and lives in northern California.khaledhosseini.com @khaledhosseini

Recenzii

Hosseini's ability to reach the core of experiences of love and loss places him in the company of such fine chroniclers of the new America as Chang-rae Lee. The Kite Runner is a first novel of unusual generosity, honesty and compassion.
A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story ... It is a novel of great hidden intricacy and wisdom, like a timeless Eastern tale. It speaks the most harrowing truth about the power of evil
The shattering first novel by Khaled Hosseini ... a rich and soul-searching narrative ... a sharp, unforgettable taste of the trauma and tumult experienced by Afghanis as their country buckled
But the play is a phenomenally powerful piece of theatre which for many people will portray Afghanistan in a totally new light
An accomplished adaptation by Matthew Spangler ... This show, a European premiere, stands shoulder to shoulder with the best work in the regions and judging by the thronging auditorium ... [they have] a hit on [their] hands that deserves to travel the country beyond its scheduled stops of Brighton and Liverpool
Matthew Spangler's dramatisation, worked on with Hosseini's help and blessing, rightly seizes on the potent personal story at the heart of the novel: the tale of two boys, Amir and his father's servant Hassan, brought up as near brothers in the same house. The staging traces their story simply and vivaciously
An enthralling tale beautifully told, at once topical and emotionally resonant
Matthew Spangler's script . . . preserves Hosseini's sensitive portrait of a friendship marred by tribalism and betrayal.
Khaled Hosseini's 2003 novel [has] been transformed into a seriously good piece of storytelling theatre that takes flight just as the onstage kites do . . . This stage adaptation . . . is that rare and magnificent thing: a real sleeper hit . . . it feels in the tradition of War horse and could well be the best page-to-stage show since then . . . it has a similar integrity that speaks of a real commitment by its creative team to telling this story with an unforced economy that is also full of emotional weight. Matthew Spangler's adaptation offers a gripping portrait of two young lives that become inextricably linked.
The touching story of the novel is carried on stage by the turbulent ups and downs, echoing the ducking and diving of a fighting kite that will come up winning.
Adaptor Matthew Spangler has admirably condensed Hosseini's epic novel . . . there is no sense of constriction . . . Spangler skilfully balances the scenes in Asia with those of the Afghan refugees seeking to maintain their dignity and culture in the West.
