內容簡介

  故事從一對小男孩的親密友誼開始。12歲的富家少爺阿米爾與僕人哈山,從小一塊長大,年齡相仿的兩人情同兄弟,總是一起玩耍,一起分享有趣的故事。然而,在一場風箏比賽後,發生了一件悲慘不堪的事,永久破壞了兩人之間的情誼,從此各自走上不同的人生道路,可是最後卻也以兩人始料未及的方式,重新連接起彼此的關係。

  即使阿米爾不久跟隨父親逃往美國,以為可以因此逃避過去的自己,但關於哈山的回憶一直縈繞不去。阿米爾感到非常愧疚,無法原諒自己當年對哈山的背叛與懦弱的行為。為了贖罪,阿米爾終於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……

  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.
