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.

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...
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...
评分我们很难去承认 也很难去面对真实的自己 我们总是勇于包装数字 用华丽的谎言来麻痹自己 顺便欺骗别人 却不敢坦然去面对自己所曾犯下的罪恶…… 阿米尔这个富家少爷所犯下的罪行 不也是一样 在面对自己人性中的怯懦、说谎、虚伪、善嫉、矫情、邪恶、自私、自大…… 他选择的是...
