内容简介
Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament,to prove that he has the makings of a man.His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street,although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart.But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament,which was to shatter their lives.After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America,Amir realises that one day he must return,to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.
精彩书评
"A wonderful work...This is one of those unforgettable stories that stay with you for years.All the great themes of literature and of life are the fabric of this extraordinary novel: love,honor,guilt,fear redemption...It is so powerful that for a long time everything I read after seemed bland."
——Isabel Allende
"Stunning ...an incisive,perceptive examination of recent Afghan history...It is rare that a book is at once so timely and of such high literary quality."
——Publisher's Weekly
"In The Kite Runner,Khaled Hosseini gives us a vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence —— forces that continue to threaten them even today."
——New York Times
"A haunting morality tale."
——USA Today
"His passionate story of betrayal and redemption is framed by Afghanistan’s tragic recent past ...Rather than settle for a coming-of-age or travails-of-immigrants story,Hosseini has folded them both into this searing spectacle of hard-won personal salvation.All this,and a rich slice of Afghan culture too: irresistible."
——Kirkus
"Like Gone with the Wind,this extraordinary first novel locates the personal struggles of everyday people in the terrible sweep of history."
——People
"To many Western readers,[Afghanistan’s] can be an exhausting and bewildering history.But Hosseini extrudes it into an intimate account of family and friendship,betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us."
——Washington Post
"Hosseini does tenderness and terror,California dream and Kabul nightmare with equal aplomb...a ripping yarn and ethical parable."
——Globe and Mail
"A beautiful novel ...a song in a new key.Hosseini is an exhilaratingly original writer with a gift for irony and a gentle,perceptive heart ...one of the most lyrical,moving and unexpected novels of the year."
——Denver Post
