Il cacciatore di aquiloni
Nell¿Afghanistan degli anni settanta il dodicenne Amir desidera con tutto se stesso vincere la gara di aquiloni che si tiene ogni anno a Kabul; ad assisterlo e a sostenere i suoi sforzi c¿è Hassan, un amico caro quanto un fratello. Ma nel giorno in cui Amir riesce finalmente a realizzare il proprio sogno, Hassan è vittima di un episodio terribile che segna la conclusione dell¿amicizia che li lega. A sconvolgere per sempre le esistenze dei due ragazzi arriva poi l¿invasione russa, che costringe la famiglia di Amir a lasciare l¿Afghanistan. È la fine di un mondo e di una vita e l¿ingresso in una nuova realtà capace di offrire ad Amir opportunità prima impensabili. Ma il passato non si cancella, e decenni dopo, diventato ormai adulto, Amir capisce di dover tornare nel proprio paese d¿origine, ormai stretto nella morsa del dominio talebano, per conquistare l¿unica cosa che davvero gli manca: il riscatto dalle proprie colpe. In questo romanzo, Khaled Hosseini narra una storia intensa e drammatica che si apre verso una prospettiva di salvezza e speranza. Un libro sull¿amicizia, sulle ferite che scavano abissi e sulla possibilità di redenzione che attende ciascuno di noi.

Il cacciatore di aquiloni. La graphic novel
Kabul, primi anni settanta. Amir e Hassan sono amici fraterni malgrado Hassan sia un hazara, chiamato con disprezzo ¿nasopiattö da chi ritiene la sua etnia inferiore, e suo padre lavori come servo del ricco padre di Amir. La loro amicizia vola in alto, sopra le differenze, come gli aquiloni che colorano i cieli della città. Eppure una nube oscura il legame tra i due ragazzini. Amir, insicuro e tormentato, teme in segreto che il leale e coraggioso Hassan sia il figlio che suo padre avrebbe sempre desiderato. Nonostante il sentimento di invidia, Amir vuole bene all¿amico e condivide con lui il sogno di vincere la caccia agli aquiloni, il gioco che anima le strade del loro quartiere. Ma, proprio il giorno in cui si aggiudica la gara e suo padre per la prima volta si mostra fiero di lui, Amir tradirà Hassan e la loro amicizia, come il filo di un aquilone, si spezzerà. Il bestseller internazionale di Khaled Hosseini trova una reinterpretazione commovente e di grande impatto visivo grazie al fumetto, in un¿edizione rinnovata nella veste grafica e nei colori.
