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.
12岁的阿富汗富家少爷阿米尔与仆人哈桑情同手足。然而,在一场风筝比赛后,发生了一件悲惨不堪的事,阿米尔为自己的懦弱感到自责和痛苦,逼走了哈桑,不久,自己也跟随父亲逃往美国。
成年后的阿米尔始终无法原谅自己当年对哈桑的背叛。为了赎罪,阿米尔再度踏上暌违二十多年的故乡,希望能为不幸的好友尽最后一点心力,却发现一个惊天谎言,儿时的噩梦再度重演,阿米尔该如何抉择?
小说如此残忍而又美丽,作者以温暖细腻的笔法勾勒人性的本质与救赎,读来令人荡气回肠。

精彩书评
"The Kite Runner is a first novel of unusual generosity, honesty and compassion."
-- Independent
"Shattering … a rich and soul-searching narrative … a sharp, unforgettable taste of the trauma and tumult experienced by Afghanis as their country buckled."
-- Observer
"A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story ... it is a novel of great hidden intricacy and wisdom, like a timeless Eastern tale. It speaks the most harrowing truth about the power of evil."
-- Daily Telegraph
"Unforgettable ... extraordinary. It is so powerful that for a long time after everything I read seemed bland."
-- Isabel Allende
极为动人的作品……没有虚矫赘文,没有无病呻吟,只有精炼的篇章……细腻勾勒家庭与友谊、背叛与救赎,无须图表与诠释就能打动并启发吾人。作者对祖国的爱显然与对造成它今日沧桑的恨一样深……故事娓娓道来,轻笔淡描,近似川端康成的《干羽鹤》,而非马哈福兹的《开罗三部曲》。作者描写缓慢沉静的痛苦尤其出色。
——《华盛顿邮报》
敏锐,真实,能引起人们的共鸣。《追风筝的人》伟大的力量之一是对阿富汗人与阿富汗文化的悲悯描绘。作者以温暖、令人欣羡的亲密笔触描写阿富汗和人民,一部生动且易读的作品。
——《芝加哥论坛报》
一鸣惊人之作。一对阿富汗朋友的故事,也是关于文化的不可思议的故事。真正让人荡气回肠的古典小说。
——《旧金山纪事报》
