Historical Context and Significance

Published in 2013, Khaled Hosseini's novel «And the Mountains Echoed» explores themes of family ties, sacrifice, and the repercussions of the choices we make. The book spans several decades and continents, starting from 1950s Afghanistan, and demonstrates how events within one family can have far-reaching effects. Known for his previous works like «The Kite Runner» and «A Thousand Splendid Suns», Hosseini once again addresses Afghan culture and history, but this time with a focus on the broader aspects of human relationships. The novel has been praised for its emotional depth and its ability to connect personal stories with wider historical and cultural contexts. It has also contributed to increased interest in Afghan culture and history, as well as issues of migration and identity, making it a significant contribution to contemporary literature.
