Con más de veintitrés millones de ejemplares vendidos en cincuenta y cuatro lenguas y un millón en castellano, Cometas en el cielo es una fabulosa historia sobre las repercusiones de la maldad personal y política en el mundo contemporáneo.

En el invierno de 1975, en un Afganistán respetuoso de sus ricas tradiciones ancestrales, la vida en Kabul discurre con toda la intensidad, la pujanza y el colorido de una ciudad confiada en su futuro. A sus doce años, Amir solo quiere ganar la competición anual de cometas, con la ayuda de su leal amigo Hassan. Sin embargo, ninguno de los dos puede prever que la tarde del concurso un acto de suma crueldad acabará marcando sus vidas para siempre. Mucho después, exiliado en Estados Unidos, Amir comprenderá que debe volver al Afganistán sometido por los talibanes para buscar lo único que su nuevo mundo no puede concederle: la redención.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The #1 New York Times bestselling novel beloved by millions of readers the world over.

New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

A vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people [of Afghanistan] have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence--forces that continue to threaten them even today.--The New York Times Book Review

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also 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.

Since its publication in 2003 Kite Runner has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic of contemporary literature, touching millions of readers, and launching the career of one of America's most treasured writers.
