“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.

評分 評分我们很难去承认 也很难去面对真实的自己 我们总是勇于包装数字 用华丽的谎言来麻痹自己 顺便欺骗别人 却不敢坦然去面对自己所曾犯下的罪恶…… 阿米尔这个富家少爷所犯下的罪行 不也是一样 在面对自己人性中的怯懦、说谎、虚伪、善嫉、矫情、邪恶、自私、自大…… 他选择的是...
just can't put it down, the fastest i've read i guess. so much drawn to the melancholy tone it set from the beginning. not perfect, language-wise, but a riveting, haunting debut novel! bravo, khaled jan!
