<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.

《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 评分大凡是有深刻情感经历的人,对这句话都会有一定的敏感度。因为这句话里蕴涵着说者对听者饱满而充溢得几乎止不住外泄的深情。当我们一字一顿地默念这七个字时,“为、你、千、千、万、万、遍”,便仿佛身边所有的喧哗和嘈杂都在瞬间飞弛而去,它们乘上呼啸的列车,在生命的布景...

评分语言简单,但很有感觉
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。
