<CENTER>A Stunning Novel of Hope and Redemption</CENTER>
Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable and beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara -- a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him.
The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship and betrayal, and about the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons -- their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But through the devastation, Khaled Hosseini offers hope: through the novel's faith in the power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows us for redemption.

我时常幻想自己是来自未来的,这样,有一天我面对未来某一时刻的突然变化,就会更从容,面对陈年往事也会更慷慨。但,我更适合平庸,如寻常人一样琐碎繁杂的生活,对时间的细枝末节斤斤计较。 既然无法预知未来,那么人更多的开始依赖回忆,甚至靠那些零星琐碎的回忆支撑往后...
评分我跟儿子说给你推荐一本书吧,《追风筝的人》,我刚读完。 儿子说你先讲讲书的内容。 我刚说这是一个关于阿富汗人的故事。儿子摇摇头,表示对阿富汗这个国家的故事不感兴趣。我觉得很能理解。从听到这本书开始,已经历经大概近十年的时间,期间我也曾因为对它好评如潮应景地买...
评分喜欢一首歌,也许是因为这首歌正好唱出了你的心情;有感于一篇文字,也许是因为文字里道出了你的故事。 读完《追风筝的人》,我最大的感触就是通过主人公经历的种种,看到了一个人的成长,内心世界从狭隘,幼稚越来越走向完整,成熟的过程。不置可否,在我们的成长过程中,因...
评分书的前三分之一是令人惊艳的。我觉得作者的一大贡献是写出了小孩子的邪恶,不像一般著作里把小孩想当然的善良化。这种幼稚、纯真而残忍的邪恶是我从未在别的书中看过的,甚好甚好。在这部分里,童年的“我”和现在的“我”交替出现。有时候面对童年阿米尔的邪恶念头,你真想抽...
很好看
