“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.

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...  

这本书在排行榜上一度排名很高。 好奇，买了看看。 看完发现这是一本制作粗糙且媚俗的畅销书。 写苦难，写赎罪，再拿来卖钱，这个无可厚非。 关键是写得太差。 大量镜头化的描写有的时候让我怀疑这是小说还是电影剧本——甚至还有大量闪回。 书中充满了扁平化，符号化的人物描...

用户评价

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。

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。
