Synopsis "Cometas en el Cielo (in Spanish)"

Sobre el telón de fondo de un Afganistán respetuoso de sus ricas tradiciones ancestrales; la vida en Kabul durante el invierno de 1975 se desarrolla con toda la intensidad; la pujanza y el colorido de una ciudad confiada en su futuro e ignorante de que se avecina uno de los períodos más cruentos que han padecido los milenarios pueblos que la habitan. Con apenas doce años; Amir se propone ganar la competición anual de cometas de la forma que sea; incluso a costa de su inseparable Hassan; un hazara de clase inferior que ha sido su sirviente y compañero de juegos desde la más tierna infancia. Así; empeñado en demostrarle a su padre que ya es todo un hombre; Amir pondrá en peligro una amistad fraguada a lo largo de años de enfrentarse a todos los peligros imaginables; y aprenderá una verdad que lo acompañaráel resto de su vida. Esta es la conmovedora historia de dos padres y dos hijos; de su amistad y de cómo la casualidad puede marcar un hito inesperado en nuestro destino. Una novela inolvidable; de la mano de uno de los autores más leídos en todo el mundo.

After exiling himself to the United States in 1980 due to the Soviet invasion, he trained as a doctor and began writing while practicing medicine. His literary debut, The Kite Runner (2003), was a global phenomenon and was followed by A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007), And the Mountains Echoed (2013), and Sea Prayer (2018). His works, translated into dozens of languages, have brought the history and culture of Afghanistan to readers around the world.
