A lovely copy of this remarkable debut novel, a huge best seller and basis for the outstanding movie.
The Kite Runner is the debut novel of Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. It tells the story of Amir, a young Afghan boy from Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, beginning with the collapse of Afghanistan's monarchy and the Afghan conflict that sparked shortly thereafter, with a particular focus on the Soviet–Afghan War and the exodus of Afghan refugees, as well as the rise of the Taliban regime.
he Kite Runner became a bestseller after being printed in paperback and was popularized in book clubs. It appeared on the New York Times best-seller list for over two years, with over seven million copies sold in the United States.
Reviews were generally positive, though parts of the plot drew significant controversy in Afghanistan. A number of adaptations were created following publication, including a 2007 film of the same name, several stage performances, and a graphic novel. The novel is also available in a multi-CD audiobook narrated by the author.
A wonderful opportunity to add this to your collection!

BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector.
