“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.
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.
耗时很久.才把这本一直想看的书看完. 细腻的描写,轻轻的讲述. 好像在耳边. 一个记忆力超群的温和男子絮絮而谈. 过往就像一条河流,展开.铺散. 刺痛.味道.苦难.希望.寻找. 便都全无遮掩的显露出来. 作为一个从小接受基督教教育的女孩儿. 一直在思考那些有着更为严格教规的人们....
评分书的前三分之一是令人惊艳的。我觉得作者的一大贡献是写出了小孩子的邪恶,不像一般著作里把小孩想当然的善良化。这种幼稚、纯真而残忍的邪恶是我从未在别的书中看过的,甚好甚好。在这部分里,童年的“我”和现在的“我”交替出现。有时候面对童年阿米尔的邪恶念头,你真想抽...
评分 评分 评分一.关于背叛与救赎的大师之作,故事跌宕起伏、情节感人至深、前后呼应天衣无缝,读过的最佳小说!二.Hassan那句“For you a thousand times over”是对他无比忠诚的友谊的完美写照!三.哈扎拉人因为是少数族裔又信奉什叶派,受到信奉逊尼派的多数族裔普什图人的欺凌,这点还是咱国家好,没有因为民族或信仰的不同歧视和欺凌!四.原本富裕安定的阿富汗从四十年前受到苏联入侵以来一直陷入水深火热的绝境,愿世界和平!五.不太虔诚的信徒Amir只有过两次虔诚的跪拜:为身患绝症的父亲和生死未卜的Sohrab,果然“医院的墙壁比教堂聆听了更多虔诚的祈祷!” 六.作者十五岁才从阿富汗以难民身份移民美国,文字功底之强令人瞠目结舌!
评分今年第二本原著,读的我超压抑。但故事很动人心。
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。
评分最近唯一一本让我比较有往下读冲动的英语读物。
评分关于爱,信仰,救赎。人生的经历被写进国家的命运中,作品被赋予了更多的时代内涵。
