內容簡介
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歲的阿富汗富傢少爺阿米爾與僕人哈桑情同手足。然而,在一場風箏比賽後,發生瞭一件悲慘不堪的事,阿米爾為自己的懦弱感到自責和痛苦,逼走瞭哈桑,不久,自己也跟隨父親逃往美國。
成年後的阿米爾始終無法原諒自己當年對哈桑的背叛。為瞭贖罪,阿米爾再度踏上暌違二十多年的故鄉,希望能為不幸的好友盡最後一點心力,卻發現一個驚天謊言,兒時的噩夢再度重演,阿米爾該如何抉擇?
小說如此殘忍而又美麗,作者以溫暖細膩的筆法勾勒人性的本質與救贖,讀來令人蕩氣迴腸。

精彩書評
"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
極為動人的作品……沒有虛矯贅文,沒有無病呻吟,隻有精煉的篇章……細膩勾勒傢庭與友誼、背叛與救贖,無須圖錶與詮釋就能打動並啓發吾人。作者對祖國的愛顯然與對造成它今日滄桑的恨一樣深……故事娓娓道來,輕筆淡描,近似川端康成的《乾羽鶴》,而非馬哈福茲的《開羅三部麯》。作者描寫緩慢沉靜的痛苦尤其齣色。
——《華盛頓郵報》
敏銳,真實,能引起人們的共鳴。《追風箏的人》偉大的力量之一是對阿富汗人與阿富汗文化的悲憫描繪。作者以溫暖、令人欣羨的親密筆觸描寫阿富汗和人民,一部生動且易讀的作品。
——《芝加哥論壇報》
一鳴驚人之作。一對阿富汗朋友的故事,也是關於文化的不可思議的故事。真正讓人蕩氣迴腸的古典小說。
——《舊金山紀事報》
