The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy Afghan youth and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption. It is also about the power of fathers over sons: their love, their sacrifices, and their lies.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Khaled Hosseini</note> <subject> <topic>Friendship -- Fiction</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">813.6</classification> <classification authority="ddc">K45-H83</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781594631931</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/10/5/_40806160_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/10/5/_40806160_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070752.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
