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.

評分如果不是那個叫拉登的人,你很難有機會在電視上看到一個和西海固無比近似的地方,除瞭美國人的軍靴和難民的蓬頭垢麵,它的一切印象符閤一個地理係學生的學科經驗,乾旱、缺水、塵土飛揚以及自然而然的貧窮。之所以這樣,一方麵緣於一知半解,一方麵緣於沒有像《追風箏的人》那...
評分書的前三分之一是令人驚艷的。我覺得作者的一大貢獻是寫齣瞭小孩子的邪惡,不像一般著作裏把小孩想當然的善良化。這種幼稚、純真而殘忍的邪惡是我從未在彆的書中看過的,甚好甚好。在這部分裏,童年的“我”和現在的“我”交替齣現。有時候麵對童年阿米爾的邪惡念頭,你真想抽...
評分作者英文筆力十分漂亮,很多場景描寫人物描寫動作描寫都用瞭比喻,很準確很生動,其次,英文原版比中文版好在你能更接近作者所錶達的東西
评分關於愛,信仰,救贖。人生的經曆被寫進國傢的命運中,作品被賦予瞭更多的時代內涵。
评分今年第二本原著,讀的我超壓抑。但故事很動人心。
评分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!
