Электронная книга: Khaled Hosseini «Lohejooksja»

Lohejooksja

"Lohejooksja" on lugu Afganistanist väga erinevatel aegadel – alates monarhia viimastest õitsenguaastatest, kuningavõimu kukutamisest kuni tänapäevase Talibani käes vaevleva rusustatud, mässuliste hirmuvalitsuse all kannatava riigini välja. See on lugu isadest ja poegadest, lugu Amirist ja Hassanist, kes on justkui parimad sõbrad, kuid samas lahutavad neid aastasadadega juurdunud traditsioonid ja seisusevahe, vastandlikud usundid. See on lugu peensusteni järgitavast afgaani kombestikust ja traditsioonidest, mis jäävad kestma ka võõrsil, USAs afgaani immigrantide kogukonnas. See on lugu elude purunemisest ja saatuslikest muutustest, kui Afganistanis algab sõda, ning usust ja lootusest näha taas kord õitsvat kodumaad. See on lugu sõprusest ja armastusest, reetmisest ja lunastusest.

Biography

Hosseini was born in Kabul where his father worked for the Afghanistan Foreign Ministry. In 1970, Hosseini and his family moved to Tehran, Iran, where his father worked for the Embassy of Afghanistan. In 1973, Hosseini's family returned to Kabul, and Hosseini's youngest brother was born in July of that year. Several months later, the former king of Afghanistan, Zahir Shah, was ousted from power in a bloodless coup that was orchestrated by Zahir's cousin, Daoud Khan.

In 1976, Hosseini's father obtained a job in Paris, France and moved the family there. They chose not to return to Afghanistan because communists had seized power through a bloody coup. Instead, in 1980 they sought political asylum in the United States and made their residence in San Jose, California.

Hosseini graduated from Independence High School in San Jose in 1984 and enrolled at Santa Clara University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 1988. The following year, he entered the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, where he earned his M.D. in 1993. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1996. He practiced medicine until a year and a half after the release of "The Kite Runner".

Hosseini is currently a Goodwill Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). [ [http://www.unhcr.se/en/News/Khaled_Hosseini_en.html (22 May 2007) "Words of support for UNHCR as Kite Runner author publishes new novel" "United Nations Commission on Human Rights"] ] He lives in Northern California with his Persian-American (Tajik) wife, Roya, and their two children.

Influences

When Hosseini was a child, he read a great deal of Persian poetry as well as Persian translations of novels ranging from "Alice in Wonderland" to Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer series. Hosseini's memories of peaceful pre-Soviet era Afghanistan, "I have very fond memories of my childhood in Afghanistan" [ [http://www.newsline.com.pk/newsnov2003/newsbeat4nov.htm Interview - Khalid Hosseini ] ] as well as his personal experiences with Afghanistan's Hazara people, led to the writing of his first novel, "The Kite Runner". One Hazara man, named Hossein Khan, worked for the Hosseinis when they were living in Iran. When Hosseini was in third grade, he taught Khan to read and write. Although his relationship with Hossein Khan was brief and rather formal, Hosseini's fond memories of this relationship served as an inspiration for the relationship between Hassan and Amir in "The Kite Runner".In an interview with Hosseini in 2004, he claims the novel The Grapes of Wrath most influenced him in his career as a writer, as he identified with the people in the book.

Novels

*"The Kite Runner" (ISBN 1-59448-000-1) is the story of a young boy, Amir, juggling to establish a closer rapport with his father and coping with memories of a haunting childhood event. The novel is set in Afghanistan, from the fall of the monarchy until the collapse of the Taliban regime, and in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its many themes include ethnic tensions between the Hazara and the Pashtun in Afghanistan, and the immigrant experiences of Amir and his father in the United States. The novel was the number three best seller for 2005 in the United States, according to Nielsen BookScan.
