“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime."
Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the ruling caste of Pashtuns. Hassan, his servant and constant companion, is a Hazara, a despised and impoverished caste. Their uncommon bond is torn by Amir's choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the Afghan monarchy, wrenching them far apart. But so strong is the bond between the two boys that Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only true friend he ever had.
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 an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.
Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and moved to the United States in 1980. His first novel, The Kite Runner, was an international bestseller, published in thirty-eight countries. In 2006 he was named a goodwill envoy to UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency. He lives in northern California.
这本书在排行榜上一度排名很高。 好奇,买了看看。 看完发现这是一本制作粗糙且媚俗的畅销书。 写苦难,写赎罪,再拿来卖钱,这个无可厚非。 关键是写得太差。 大量镜头化的描写有的时候让我怀疑这是小说还是电影剧本——甚至还有大量闪回。 书中充满了扁平化,符号化的人物描...
评分 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...
评分在我很小的时候,我就熟知自己的懦弱。当学校的小霸王把冰凉的手伸进我的后背取暖,我只会假装不管不顾,最后还是在同学的鼓舞下对他做出反抗;我也知道自己的自私,舅舅送了我一个录音机,来家里小住的表姐对此爱不释手,爸爸——也就是她的舅舅——就给她也买了一个,而...
评分最近唯一一本让我比较有往下读冲动的英语读物。
评分一.关于背叛与救赎的大师之作,故事跌宕起伏、情节感人至深、前后呼应天衣无缝,读过的最佳小说!二.Hassan那句“For you a thousand times over”是对他无比忠诚的友谊的完美写照!三.哈扎拉人因为是少数族裔又信奉什叶派,受到信奉逊尼派的多数族裔普什图人的欺凌,这点还是咱国家好,没有因为民族或信仰的不同歧视和欺凌!四.原本富裕安定的阿富汗从四十年前受到苏联入侵以来一直陷入水深火热的绝境,愿世界和平!五.不太虔诚的信徒Amir只有过两次虔诚的跪拜:为身患绝症的父亲和生死未卜的Sohrab,果然“医院的墙壁比教堂聆听了更多虔诚的祈祷!” 六.作者十五岁才从阿富汗以难民身份移民美国,文字功底之强令人瞠目结舌!
评分十年之后再读/听一遍,更加感叹。故事讲的不仅仅是赎罪,更多的还有对人性的认识。一个小男孩的成长。
评分Overrated
评分跟着音频看完的,看完中文多年后,再看英文依然嚎啕大哭……
