Published by Bloomsbury, London; 203. 8vo. 324pp. First edition, second impression. Condition: Fine/Fine. Bound in original black cloth boards with title in red to the spine. The binding is square and tight with just a hint of bumping to the corners and spine ends, but is otherwise in excellent condition. Inside, the pages are clean and bright and free from any damage or marks. The book is housed in its equally smart dust jacket, which is in beautiful condition with just a touch of bumping and the price clipped off, but otherwise fine. In all, this is a lovely example of this modern classic of Hosseini's first novel. It tells the unforgettable tale of the friendship shared by two boys growing up in different social classes in Kabul in the 1970s, and follows the course of their lives as the Soviet Union invades, the Afghani monarchy falls, and the Taliban moves in. This is an unforgettable story that will stay with you. It is a moving, powerful debut novel from Hosseini. Seller Inventory # 1075

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart. But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament, which was to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return, to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001209019
