Summary/Abstract: The paper explores structural violence as represented in Khaled Hosseini’s And the Mountains Echoed (2013). Its author looks at the structural violence representation, exploring the narratological approach, Conviction Narrative Theory, for that purpose. Johan Galtung’s theory of the violence triangle will be applied in order to see how violence is narrated in a structural form.
