An epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the atrocities of the present.
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 it is also about the power of fathers over sons-their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner tells a sweeping story of family, love, and friendship against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, bringing to mind the large canvases of the Russian writers of the nineteenth century. But just as it is old-fashioned in its narration, it is contemporary in its subject-the devastating history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years. As emotionally gripping as it is tender, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful debut.

"For you, a thousand times over". This book is a novel about friendship, betrayal, and the price of loyalty. And it describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But with the devastation, it also gives us hope: the possibilities for redemption——when guilt leads to good!
评分nakamamin给我看的,,,
评分an amazing story
评分"For you a thousand times over"
评分虽然生词有些多 看原版越看越有味道越被吸引 战争是多么残酷无情 刚开始看到Amir的所作所为会因此愤怒 可如果换成自己或许也会如此 太过懦弱并不善良却又无法残忍 最后把自己陷入悔恨纠结当中 无论怎么逃 都无法逃脱内心道德谴责 愿我们终将被自己救赎
