Beschreibung
An illustrated book on the refugee crisis that will break your heart in under 48 pages, from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed.
"Intensely moving. . .Powerfully evocative of the plight in which displaced populations find themselves."– Kirkus, STARRED Review
"Hosseini's story, aimed at readers of all ages, does not dwell on nightmarish fates; instead, its emotional power flows from the love of a father for his son."– Publishers Weekly, STARRED BOX Review
A 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 sea-crossing 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 three-year-old 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.
Khaled Hosseini is one of the most widely read writers in the world, with more than fifty-five million copies of his novels sold worldwide in more than seventy countries. Hosseini is also a Goodwill Envoy to the UNHCR, and the founder of The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a nonprofit that provides humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan.

'Am Abend vor dem Meer' erzählt mit farbigen Illustrationen und wenigen Worten von Krieg und Flucht – von der Angst vor dem Meer – und würdigt das verlorene Leben ertrunkener Menschen, die ihr einst lebendiges, nun zerstörtes Land verlassen mussten. Kaum Worte, die tief wirken. „Wenn sie nur wüssten, was in dir steckt. Wenn sie das nur zur Hälfte wüssten. Dann wären sie freundlicher.“

Wirklich sehr schöne Illustrationen. Eine kurze Erzählung über den Krieg und die Folgen. Sehr aktuell gerade 🥹🥺❤️ Khaled Hosseini hat die Bilder und die Texte wirklich sehr passend gestaltet. Das Buch verdient eig. eine 5 Sterne Bewertung jedoch muss ich ehrlicherweise sagen ich mag Fiktionen lieber als Realitätsbezogene Bücher. Denn Bücher sind mein Safe Space und da möchte ich Bücher die gerne spannend sind aber nicht zu sehr an schreckliche Dinge erinnern, wie beispielsweise Krieg. Denn man hört aktuell überall etwas von Krieg und da möchte man beim Bücher lesen einfach abschalten. 🫶🏽
