“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.
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...
评分在我很小的时候,我就熟知自己的懦弱。当学校的小霸王把冰凉的手伸进我的后背取暖,我只会假装不管不顾,最后还是在同学的鼓舞下对他做出反抗;我也知道自己的自私,舅舅送了我一个录音机,来家里小住的表姐对此爱不释手,爸爸——也就是她的舅舅——就给她也买了一个,而...
