Amir och Hassan växer upp som bästa vänner under en omvälvande tid i Kabul. Trots att de uppfostras sida vid sida lever de i två helt skilda världar. Amir är son till en framstående välbärgad man, medan Hassan, som är son till Amirs fars tjänare, tillhör det fattiga och lågt stående hazarfolket. Hassan gör allt för Amir, han försvarar honom i alla lägen, men när Amir en dag får chansen att återgälda Hassans totala lojalitet sviker han.
Flyga drake är en gripande roman om vänskap, svek och lojalitet. Den handlar om banden mellan fäder och söner och fädernas makt över sina söner - deras kärlek, uppoffringar och lögner. I bakgrunden står historiska händelser som inte tidigare berättats på detta sätt, boken tar oss från ett vackert och välmående Afghanistan rikt på kultur till det ödelagda land som det är idag.

Work Description
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.
