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.
“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.

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...
评分喜欢一首歌,也许是因为这首歌正好唱出了你的心情;有感于一篇文字,也许是因为文字里道出了你的故事。 读完《追风筝的人》,我最大的感触就是通过主人公经历的种种,看到了一个人的成长,内心世界从狭隘,幼稚越来越走向完整,成熟的过程。不置可否,在我们的成长过程中,因...
评分开车路上听的,很多没有听懂,以后再听第二遍
评分最近唯一一本让我比较有往下读冲动的英语读物。
评分十年之后再读/听一遍,更加感叹。故事讲的不仅仅是赎罪,更多的还有对人性的认识。一个小男孩的成长。

评分跟着音频看完的,看完中文多年后,再看英文依然嚎啕大哭……
