(The adage says that there are two sides to every story, b...)
The adage says that there are two sides to every story, but as most contemporary literature teachers can attest, there are many sides to every story-or at least many ways of looking at a story. Prestwick House's Multiple Perspectives Lesson Guides provide the high school teacher with everything she needs to guide her students through the study of the titles she teaches from a variety of critical viewpoints. Every Multiple Perspectives Lesson Guide provides a general introduction to the work (plot summary, introductions to key characters, brief discussions of social and historical background); clear and concise explanations of three critical theories (including feminism, Marxism, Freudianism, new historicism, and formalism); and reading, writing, and discussion activities designed to help students probe the familiar text in new and deeper ways. Teachers who want to take their teaching of literature beyond the tired plot pyramid and want their students to experience the books they love more than reader-response alone will let them, will find Prestwick House Multiple Perspectives Lessons Guides to be an invigorating addition to their course syllabus.

( Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to mar...)
Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism. The sense of longing evoked in Khaled Hosseini's Alf shams sati'a is compelling and universal: the passionate search for love, family, home, acceptance, a healthy society, and a promising future, regardless of the obstacles. Like The Kite Runner, this novel transcends boundaries and illuminates the people and culture of a region that has been reluctantly thrust into the international spotlight. Above all, however, Alf shams sati'a is a stunning literary accomplishment.

( Mariams lod i livet er lige fra begyndelsen tungt at bæ...)
Mariams lod i livet er lige fra begyndelsen tungt at bære. Som barn af tjenestepigen Nana og husets rige herre er hun en uønsket datter, der forbitrer sin mors liv, og i femten år lever de to så godt som isolerede fra samfundet. Mullah Faizullah kommer ganske vist ofte op til dem på bjerget, og han bliver Mariams ven og beskytter, og Jalil, hendes far, besøger hende hver torsdag. Men mener han det, når han siger, at han elsker hende? Det er en prøve, han skal bestå den dag, Mariam fylder femten år. Sammenlignet med Mariam er Laila født på livets solside. Ganske vist lægger hendes mor sig ofte med depressioner over at hendes to sønner slås i Afghanistans bjerge mod russerne, men den højtelskede far er hendes støtte, og Tariq, Lailas bedste ven, er altid ved hendes side. En dag rykker krigen imidlertid ned fra bjergene og ind i Kabul, og mortergranater begynder at regne fra himlen. Den midaldrende Mariam og teenagepigen Laila har intet tilfælles, men det får de - ikke mindst da Taliban vinder krigen og tager magten i landet. Talibanernes ekstreme kvindefjendskhed skaber de særeste alliancer, og den fattige og undertrykte Mariam og den kvikke og intelligente Laila er nødt til at arbejde sammen for at overleve. Please Note: This audiobook is in Danish.

Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart. But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament, which was to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return, to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons-their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

On May 21, 2013, the new novel from Khaled Hosseini Khaled Hosseini, the #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author of "The Kite Runner "and "A Thousand Splendid Suns," has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe--from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos--the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page. "Spectacular....Hosseini's writing makes our hearts ache, our stomachs clench and our emotions reel." -USA Today "Just as good, if not better, than Hosseini's best-selling first book, The Kite Runner." -Newsweek "A powerful book...no frills, no nonsense, just hard, spare prose...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us." -The Washington Post Book World
