The book features novels by contemporary Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini. The main goal of the work is to show the significance of Hosseini’s literary heritage in the context of emigrant literature. The work includes the author’s novels “The Kite Runner”, “And the Mountains Echoed,” and “A Thousand Splendid Suns”. The monograph can be useful both to literary scholars and a wide range of readers. Khaled Hosseini manages to use his talent and create three heartbreaking novels at once. Hosseini's novels are as beautiful as they are tragic. They are, of course, sentimental, but the reader sympathizes with all the characters and at the same time reflects on the questions raised by the author. Hosseini writes about Afghanistan but does not fill the pages with historical allusions. In the novels, there are evil and kind, happy and unhappy, cowardly and brave, successful and unsuccessful characters who experience the war in different ways. It should be noted that Hosseini, in his search for an ideological homeland, presents both Afghan and American cultures. Khaled Hosseini's characters first leave their homeland, move to America and, isolating themselves from their native environment, become one of thousands of emigrants. The presented realities of alienation and self-estrangement in the context of emigrant literature prove that both spatial and psychological distance can lead not only to alienation from society but also to internal isolation. The fate of the homeland does not leave the author alone and through his characters he tries to express the pain and suffering that the Afghans experienced during and after the war. Hosseini's works are always accompanied by broken images of Afghan families. The author knows the layers of the characters' lives inside and out. Through intermittent stories, he takes us to the dusty villages and towns of war-torn Afghanistan and shows the feelings of the people.

Emigrant literature very often teaches one to live independently of place and time. Our characters leave their homeland, continue to live, but most of them are not able to find the meaning of life again. Hosseini manages to open a window into the spiritual world and hidden passions of his characters. He is able to form an inextricable whole from individual parts of the story and touch the reader’s heart. He presents the cruelty of life with ease, without giving a tragic tone and without being filled with pity for the characters.
