Saviuc diana a dat nota:

O carte care, inevitabil, îți va fura câteva lacrimi și îți va stârni numeroase întrebări fără răspuns: • Ce sens are războiul? • Cum încolțește cruzimea în om? • Există loialitate fără limite? • Poți trăi cu mustrările de conștiință? • Este bunătatea leacul pentru vinovăție? • Ce este credința? Cum poate un agresor să se închine la același Dumnezeu la care se închină și victima lui? • Poate fi acuzat un copil pentru lipsa de etică? Am parcurs cartea cu sufletul tulburat. L-am compătimit pe Hassan și am empatizat cu Amir (sau poate chiar invers). Am plâns pentru Sohrab și m-am simțit neputincioasă, dar, totuși, norocoasă că trăiesc într-un ,,pătrățel” de siguranță. Romanul lui Hosseini e o lectură în contrast cu coloritul unui zmeu. Povestea copiilor afgani este în contrast cu libertatea unui zmeu. Regretele sunt în contrast cu zâmbetele unor vânători de zmeie. ,,Vânătorii de zmeie” merită 5⭐️ și mult mai multe lacrimi. Mie mi-a reamintit că realitatea mea nu e realitatea generală și că trebuie, din când în când, să scoatem capul în lume pentru o doză de adevăr (fie el și neplăcut, dureros).

Recenzii

Hosseini's ability to reach the core of experiences of love and loss places him in the company of such fine chroniclers of the new America as Chang-rae Lee. The Kite Runner is a first novel of unusual generosity, honesty and compassion
The shattering first novel by Khaled Hosseini ... A rich and soul-searching narrative ... A sharp, unforgettable taste of the trauma and tumult experienced by Afghanis as their country buckled
A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story ... It is a novel of great hidden intricacy and wisdom, like a timeless Eastern tale. It speaks the most harrowing truth about the power of evil
Unforgettable ... Extraordinary. It is so powerful that for a long time after everything I read seemed bland
Unforgettable ... Extraordinary. It is so powerful that for a long time after everything I read seemed bland
