Bag om Sea Prayer

Sea Prayer, a profoundly moving work by the acclaimed author Khaled Hosseini, was published in 2018 by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC. This poignant tale belongs to the genre of contemporary fiction, and it beautifully encapsulates the raw human emotions of love, fear, and hope. Sea Prayer is an intimate exploration of a father's love for his son, set against the backdrop of a world that is teetering on the brink of chaos and destruction. It is a stirring tribute to the millions of families, like the story's protagonist, who have been splintered and displaced by war and persecution. The author's evocative narrative and the publisher's commitment to quality make this book a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the human aspect of global conflicts. Sea Prayer is a testament to the power of storytelling and the resilience of the human spirit.

Forlagets beskrivelse af Sea Prayer

A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller

A deeply moving, gorgeously illustrated short story for people of all ages from the international bestselling author of The Kite Runner, brought to life by Dan Williams's beautiful illustrations

'The book may be brief, but it is beautiful, poetic - a distillation of his strengths' Sunday Times

On a moonlit beach a father cradles his sleeping son as they wait for dawn to break and a boat to arrive. He speaks to his boy of the long summers of his childhood, recalling his grandfather's house in Syria, the stirring of olive trees in the breeze, the bleating of his grandmother's goat, the clanking of her cooking pots. And he remembers, too, the bustling city of Homs with its crowded lanes, its mosque and grand souk, in the days before the sky spat bombs and they had to flee.

When the sun rises they and those around them will gather their possessions and embark on a perilous sea journey in search of a new home.

Proceeds from the sale of Sea Prayer will go to The Khaled Hosseini Foundation and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency to help fund life-saving support and build better futures for refugees around the world.
