<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.

为你,千千万万遍 (最经典的就是这句了) 许多年过去了,人们说陈年旧事可以被埋葬,然而我终于明白这是错的.因为往事会自己爬上来。 被真相伤害总比被谎言欺骗的好。 得到了再失去,总是比从来就没有得到更伤人。 罪行只有一种,那就是盗窃。当你杀害一个人,你偷走一条性...
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...
评分花了两个礼拜的空余时间+频繁的查字典读完的
评分06枕上。340页,托秋阳&轮椅的福,居然一个字一个字的看完了,虽然好读书不求甚解,但小得意应该无妨?哈哈。此书文字之美,感情之真,刻画之细,描写之实无需我赘言,中英文版的热销&各处的好评已给它下了定语。
