Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.
　　
　　Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shi'a Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amir's school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amir's house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.
　　
　　
　　The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseini's deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amir's closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amir's father's servant and a member of Afghanistan's despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabul's annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.
　　
　　Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amir's equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shah's 40-year reign and traces the country's fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassan's orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.
　　
　　The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

读《The Kite Runner》
橡皮树

经很久没有像读The Kite Runner这样读书了，连续几个晚上不看电视，不上网，读它直到后半夜。书读完了，但它带给我心灵深处的震撼如Hassan在湖面上扔石头而起的波纹，久久无法散去。 The Kite Runner（台湾中文译本名字为《追风筝的孩子》），是美籍阿富汗作家Khaled Hossein写于2...... (2回应)

你追到那只风筝了吗？
Mimi(www.chicmimi.com)

这本看似平平的The Kite Runner在书架上放了许久，最近终于被我重拾。最开始我只是每天早上读一章，由于故事的开头较为平淡，我当时甚至怀疑是自己能不能坚持读完这个故事。然后今天在飞机上闲来无事，在万米高空将全书一口气读完之后，我才深深后悔自己为什么没能早点发现这个伟大的故事。这是一个关于忏悔与救赎的故事...... (3回应)

一篇寓言，甚或bl
9节菖蒲(从前为你舍得无聊,宁愿休息不要)

本书的动人之处在于，每个人都是Amir. 这句话的意思并不是说每个人都做过可恶卑贱之事。而旨在说明，道德的惩罚，与生俱来的自卑，耻辱，自我责难。从某个层面来说，Hasson也是Amir。虽然他完美得近乎伪装。而我，依旧不折不扣地认为这是篇bl。相信我，我已经很久没有看bl了。...... (2回应)
