Hosseini,Khaled/A Cidade do Sol  PB [2007,1st Ed,368pp]

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s last thirty years—from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to the post-Taliban rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness—are inextricable from the history playing out around them.

Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love—a stunning accomplishment


Mariam tem 33 anos. Sua mãe morreu quando ela tinha 15 anos e Jalil, o homem que deveria ser seu pai, a deu em casamento a Rasheed, um sapateiro de 45 anos. Ela sempre soube que seu destino era servir seu marido e dar-lhe muitos filhos. Mas as pessoas não controlam seu destino. Laila tem 14 anos. É filha de um professor que sempre lhe diz - 'Você pode ser tudo o que quiser'. Ela vai à escola todos os dias, é considerada uma das melhores alunas do colégio e sempre soube que seu destino era muito maior do que casar e ter filhos. Confrontadas pela História, o que parecia impossível acontece - Mariam e Laila se encontram, absolutamente sós. E a partir desse momento, embora a História continue a decidir os destinos, uma outra história começa a ser contada, aquela que ensina que todos nós fazemos parte do 'todo humano', somos iguais na diferença, com nossos pensamentos, sentimentos e mistérios.
