periods. Considering the perspectives found in this research, it is obvious
that Hosseini globally demonstrates the real outlook of his nation and country,
and moreover establishes that having peace and wealth is the life meaning for
Afghan people the same as for other human beings. In the present analysis, the

have been employed to represent Khaled Hosseini’s literary image as a writer.

perspectives of Afghanistan. The results of this work revealed that the writer

Afghanistan. This study is an effort to unfold the significance of literary
characteristics of the novels mentioned above. It will help to decode the
essential perspective peculiarities of Hosseini’s works by applying historical
