Y las montanas hablaron / And the Mountains Echoed

Khaled Hosseini

Una epopeya profundamente conmovedora de la angustia, la esperanza y, sobre todo, de los lazos inquebrantables del amor.

La decision de una humilde familia campesina de dar una hija en adopcion a un matrimonio adinerado es el fundamento sobre el que Khaled Hosseini -autor de las inolvidables Cometas en el cielo y Mil soles esplendidos- ha tejido este formidable tapiz en el que se entrelazan los destinos de varias generaciones y se exploran las infinitas formas en que el amor, el valor, la traicion y el sacrificio desempenan un papel determinante en las vidas de las personas.

La historia arranca en una remota y desolada aldea de Afganistan, donde Sabur y su segunda mujer se enfrentan en condiciones precarias a la llegada de otro invierno implacable. Abdula, el hijo mayor, de diez anos, ha cuidado de su hermana Pari desde que era pequena, y ahora ambos escuchan cautivados la triste historia que les relata su padre antes de acostarlos, la vispera de iniciar un largo viaje que los conducira hasta Kabul. Alli, en las bulliciosas calles de la capital, dara comienzo este fascinante itinerario que guiara al lector desde el otono de 1952 hasta el presente, de Kabul a Paris, desde la isla griega de Tinos hasta San Francisco.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An unforgettable novel about finding a lost piece of yourself in someone else.

Khaled Hosseini, the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe-from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos-the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.
