"Many years later, people say that old things can be buried, but I finally understand that this is wrong, because the past will climb up by itself. Looking back, I realize that I have been peeping at the deserted path for the past 26 years."
According to the Washington Post, "there is no empty correction, no groaning without illness, only a concise chapter, which delicately outlines family and friendship, betrayal and redemption. The authors love for the motherland is obviously as deep as his hatred for the vicissitudes that have caused it today. The story is easy and light, similar to Kawabata Yasunaris thousand feather crane."
Amir, a 12-year-old Afghan rich young master, is brotherly with his servant Hassan. However, after a kite competition, something tragic happened. Amir felt remorse and pain for his cowardice and forced Hassan away. Soon, he also fled to the United States with his father.
As an adult, Amir could not forgive his betrayal of Hassan. In order to atone, Amir set foot in his hometown for more than 20 years, hoping to do his best for his unfortunate friends, but found a shocking lie, and his childhood nightmare repeated again. How should Amir choose?
The novel is so cruel and beautiful that the author outlines the essence and redemption of human nature with warm and delicate writing, which is very touching.
Book Descriptioncontent validity
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his fathers 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 it is also about the power of fathers over sonstheir love, their sacrifices, their lies.
The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner tells a sweeping story of family, love, and friendship against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, bringing to mind the large canvases of the Russian writers of the nineteenth century. But just as it is old-fashioned in its narration, it is contemporary in its subjectthe devastating history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years. As emotionally gripping as it is tender, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful debut.

This novel is not only a political epic, but also an extremely human story about how childhood choices affect our adult life. Judging from the character portrayal in Shan * book, this first trial cry * is worth reading. From the sensitive and insecure Amir to his father with multi-level character, Amir did not gradually reveal his fathers sacrifice and scandal until he returned to Afghanistan, nor did he understand the bifurcation of history in the United States and... These contents created a complete literary work, which made the past unnoticed In the new millennium, the culture of a country that has become a political focus is presented to the world. At the same time, it has both a sense of the times and a high degree of literary texture
Embarrassment can be valuable.

——Globe and mail Canada
A blockbuster work by an Afghan writer living in the United States. This novel, which is intertwined with betrayal and Atonement, takes the tragedy of modern Afghanistan as the skeleton. It is not just a bitter story about growth or immigration. The author integrates these two elements into the hard won macro scene of personal redemption. All these, coupled with the rich Afghan cultural customs: the charm is difficult to resist.
——Cox Book Review
A vivid picture of life in Afghanistan over the past quarter century. The roles of Amir and his father, their relationship, and the relationship between Hassan and Amir are described and developed very carefully and persuasively.
