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.
“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.
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《追风筝的人》原来是一个关于记忆,关于背叛和救赎的小说。 本来以为是那种晦涩的莫名其妙的哲理小说,因此这么多年了都没看。 这一次,因为手边没有其他的书,无奈之下才读了,没想到被深深震撼。 读到深夜只看到一半,第二天很早醒来继续读,终于读完。 对我来说这是读得很...
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...
评分如果不是那个叫拉登的人,你很难有机会在电视上看到一个和西海固无比近似的地方,除了美国人的军靴和难民的蓬头垢面,它的一切印象符合一个地理系学生的学科经验,干旱、缺水、尘土飞扬以及自然而然的贫穷。之所以这样,一方面缘于一知半解,一方面缘于没有像《追风筝的人》那...
评分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...
just can't put it down, the fastest i've read i guess. so much drawn to the melancholy tone it set from the beginning. not perfect, language-wise, but a riveting, haunting debut novel! bravo, khaled jan!
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……
评分最近唯一一本让我比较有往下读冲动的英语读物。
评分十二岁的小男孩渴望赢得父亲的爱。父亲与儿子,主人与仆人,普什图人与哈扎拉人,和平与动乱,背叛与救赎,一个关于忠诚的动人故事。
