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.
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...
评分人们数不清她的屋顶上有多少轮皎洁的明月 也数不清她的墙壁之后那一千个灿烂的太阳 ———— 诗人用太阳比喻美丽的喀布尔妇女 小说读到最后,所有的压抑挣扎突然间被这首诗治愈。有对玛丽亚姆悲剧一生的颤抖,有对莱拉苦尽甘来的喜悦。女人总能爆发巨大的能量,对抗岁月的催打...
评分前段时间终于再看了灿烂千阳,也终于看了追风筝的人,还终于把所有灿烂千阳的评论看完了。 怎么说呢……从我的感觉来说,《追》是一部沉静而沉痛的书,一个逃避与救赎的过程。这个故事中的阿米尔,始终都没有他父亲那样的勇气来面对挑战和威胁。他对阿富汗遭受的不幸,只能从...

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。
评分比追风筝的人更好
评分God Bless
