From my Old blog: THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS KHALED HOSSEINI

I do not know, that I can write about KHALED HOSSEINI. I do not know him personally.
But I can tell, that he is the tremendous author.
I read it in translation, in Russia it is difficult to find books in the original.
I cannot explain magic of his book because literary it is simple.
But you open the book, start to read, and you do not notice how you are came inside a story of a narration so deeply that you feel a smell of a high grass and coldness of water in the river near to Mariam's house . You feel taste of chocolate sweets (an invaluable gift of Mariam's father), feel a speed and a direction of a wind.
You feel a pain and pleasure, hope, run into despair…
I can tell, that never before I was immersed in a story so.
Never before I closed books to take breath.
I can admit, that I have learned much about Afghanistan, about war there, about that what role the USSR has played in lives of Afghanistan (USSR — the country in which I was born and which does not exist any more).
I had many emotional experiences with «A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS «- and it is the basic value
