Khaled Hosseini escribe un relato profundamente conmovedor sobre los refugiados, un homenaje a los millones de familias a las que la guerra y la persecucin han separado y obligado a abandonar sus hogares.Mi querido Marwan: veo tu perfil a la luz de esta luna, hijo mo, la caligrafa de tus pestaas cerradas en un sueo inocente.Te dije: Dame la mano. Nada malo va a pasar.En una orilla baada por la luz de la luna, un padre acuna a su hijo dormido, esperando el alba y la llegada de un barco. Le habla sobre el largo verano de su infancia, evocando la casa de su abuelo en Siria, los olivos que se mecen con la brisa, los balidos de las cabras de su abuela, el tintineo de las ollas. Recuerda tambin el bullicio de la ciudad de Homs, con sus calles atestadas, su mezquita y su gran zoco, das antes de que el cielo escupiera bombas y se vieran obligados a huir.Cuando el sol amanezca, ellos y quienes los rodean tendrn que reunir sus posesiones y embarcarse en un peligroso viaje a travs del mar en busca de un nuevo hogar.DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISHA short, powerful, illustrated book written by beloved novelist Khaled Hosseini in response to the current refugee crisis, Sea Prayer is composed in the form of a letter, from a father to his son, on the eve of their journey. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous seacrossing that lies before them. It is also a vivid portrait of their life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of that city s swift transformation from a home into a deadly war zone. Impelled to write this story by the haunting image of young Alan Kurdi, the threeyearold Syrian boy whose body washed upon the beach in Turkey in September 2015, Hosseini hopes to pay tribute to the millions of families, like Kurdi s, who have been splintered and forced from home by war and persecution, and he will donate author proceeds from this book to the UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation to help fund lifesaving relief efforts to help refugees around the globe.
