<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....
评分洞穿我的渺小 ——《追风筝的人》 加盐 总觉得很多时候,我们爱上一个人,喜欢一本书,钟情一首歌曲,流连一座城市,都是因为当中有我们自己的故事,投入了感情,所以感动。 我对一部好作品的定义其实很简单,能够让我落泪,能够扣动我铁...

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too strong
评分Khaled Hosseini
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。
