Running after the wind. In the Kazakh language. Hosseini Kh.

The story of friendship and loyalty, about betrayal and redeeming, making his way to the very top. Delicate, ironic and sentimental in a good way, Khaled Hosseini’s novel resembles a picturesque canvas, which can be examined endlessly.

The story unfolds in the pre-war Kabul of the 1970s. In this magical city, which shimmers with all shades of gold and azure, two liver boys, Amir and Hassan live. One belonged to the local aristocracy, the other to the despised minority. One father was beautiful and important, the other had chrome and miserable. Mr. and servant, prince and beggar, handsome and cripple. But there were no people closer in the world than these two boys. Soon the Kabul idyll will be replaced by formidable storms. And the boys, like two paper snakes, will pick up this storm and marks in different directions. Each has its own fate, its own tragedy, but they, as in childhood, are connected by the most dull ties.

You run for a paper snake and the wind, as you run after your fate, trying to catch it. But she will catch you.
