So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one...Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Abdullah, Pari - as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named - is everything. More like a parent than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night they sleep together in their cot, their heads touching, their limbs tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to Kabul with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand. Crossing generations and continents, moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos, with profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways in which we help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through history and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.
一口气读完《追风筝的人》《灿烂千阳》与《群山回唱》,虽然其间作者的创作周期长达十年,但是连贯起来读还是能很明显的发现,三本书有一个共同的主题——逃离与救赎。 在《追风筝的人》里,少爷阿米尔因为无法忍受自己的不忠、怯弱、虚伪与面对哈桑时的负罪感而逼走哈桑,紧...
评分喜爱读书的人多多少少都听说过胡塞尼,《追风筝的人》,《灿烂千阳》,当然还有更高评价的这本《群山回唱》。很遗憾的是我并不是从前就像现在这样喜欢读书,在豆瓣一窝蜂好评的长期推动下,我先选择了这本,希望通过这个更纯熟更深切的作品了解这个阿富汗作家。 我不知道怎么形...
评分我的朋友,我该如何向你表达那种缺失感呢?也许,有那么一些时刻,会帮助你理解这种感觉:当你在纵情欢笑后突然沉寂,当你在浩瀚美景前满腹酸涩,当你在人生最重要的场合里怅然若失……你隐约觉得,自己失去了什么,某种重要的东西,也许是某个亲人,也许是你爱过的人。也许你...
评分 评分Afghanistan finally found a voice in the world, and the epics Hosseini created with so compelling characters must be heard by all.
评分"Nothing good came free. Even love. You paid for all things. And if you were poor, suffering was your currency." —— "And The Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini. I love the story between Pari and Abdullah, which is heartbreaking.
评分Afghanistan finally found a voice in the world, and the epics Hosseini created with so compelling characters must be heard by all.
评分看到后面觉得还不错 前面差点弃书 主要问题是节奏太慢 且作者语言略啰嗦
评分既相濡以沫,又相忘于江湖。想起某日本微小说里那句“那么哥哥,我是谁呀?” 唏。嘘。
