Abstract (EN)

Afghanistan's political history has always been an important and interesting issue for writers, especially political history of the last 30 years of Afghanistan, because it has a lot of changes and mutations, so different writers with different views has written about it. In other side the international acclaim from Khaled Hosseini novels (The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns), shows that political-historical realities about Afghanistan in these novels are interesting for people in the world, and make them curious about Afghanistan. Even some peoples believe that these political- historical realities along with extensive advertising made these novels' reputation. (But we should consider that facts which mentioned in novels have been offered with good literary and artistic features.) In this study, after a short review of these novels, and also historical and political realities of Afghanistan, I want to accordance events in these novels with Afghanistan's political history. This study seeks to evaluate contemporary political history of Afghanistan according to Khaled Hosseini's novels. In this study I want to understand the political history of the country in the last half century, what happened in this period and how, on the other hand want to check whether the facts mentioned in Hosseini's novels completely true and matches with the other books in field of Afghanistan's political history or not? Has Khaled Hosseini written according to his own perception of historical events, or novels are consistent with the facts? To obtain this offer and achieve the purpose of research, I will use different books from Afghan and foreign writers and also evaluate every single political event which mentioned in the novels and other books.
