《追风筝的人读后感 英文》
The Kite RunnerThe more i read it, the more i love it. Now, i have changed my opinion. I love Hassan and i love Amir, too. Compared with the movie, i like the book more. But i consider it as a movie, because it is vivid and i can shift the scene to reality. I think anyone who sees Hassan would like him. Though he is a little ugly and has flat nose and so on, he is so kind and loyal, in Amir's word, guileless devotion. As we can see, the first word he said was Amir. He knows Amir clearly, his jealousy, anger, remorse etc. He is willing to sacrifice for Amir no matter what has happened between them. He can lie to his respectful host in order to help Amir, but we all know that he hasn't lied even once. He even can eat dirt if he wants him to. He hasn't any complaints or hatred despite he knows Amir didn't stand out when Amir has witnessed it all. After over 25 years, he is still obsessed with Amir. But unfortunately, he and his wife were shot on the street by the local greedy officers. And their son became an orphan.As for Amir, i dislike him when they are young, because he is cowardly and selfish. Hedare not admit what he has done, let alone standing out for Hassan.However, if you were him, what would you have done? At that time, he is only a child who is eager for baba's approval and love. It’s extremely natural for all children.On one hand, he is weak. He takes part in the soccer team to cheer father, he also makes up stories and hopes that baba would have a look. He has sacrificed a lot for baba,the most is that he is bothered by a nightmare all the time about what has happened in that alley, that is Hassan was raped. The guilt and remorse give him much pressure in the bottom of his heart.On the other hand, he is as brave as Hassan and baba.When he knows Hassan is his brother,when he knows Sohrab was in danger,he sets about saving his nephew without hesitation,maybe is compensation.He is nearly killed by Assef during the fight.Just like Hassan for him,just like his baba risking protecting an unknown woman. In the end, hereleases himself and runs the kite for his nephew. For you, a thousand times over, Hassansaid, which has moved all of the readers.......

《追风筝的人英文读后感》
The Kite Runner
I read this book in the winter holiday,and now I am going to read it again ,for the good book deserve several reading.Well,The Kite Runner move me so much,and it make me think a lot.In this esssay,I just talk about two of them.
“For you,a thousand times over.”There is no double that friendship will be the first and the most important point.
We are easily moved by Hassan’s loyalty to Amir,that’s because we are difficult to meet someone who is willing to devote to us for a thousand times over without any complain. The friendship in our real world is companyde with benefit ,which is very differenr from the friendship described in the novel.
Althought I don’t think highly of the such unilaterally devotion ,I still appreciate Hassan’s devotion and magnanimity to his good friend.The real friendship is what Hassan give to Amir:when you are happy,I may be here to share your happiness; when you need me,I must be in your side to help you; and when you hurt me ,I am easily to forgive you; and even though you leave me, I still keep you in my mind.
It make me sad to see Amir’s unbravery and irresponsibility when his friend need him.Actually I tend to believe that Amir didn’t regard Hassan as his friend but just a pleasant and loyal servant when I read the first half of the novel.But Amir can’t forget his hurt to Hassan,and try his hard to make up in the latter part of the book, which change his afterlife,and the fate of Hassan’s poor son.So I begin to understand Amir’s friendship to Hassan.If he think Hassan is unimportant,he will not take the embarrassed memory to heart,and will not come back to
Afghanistan to face his ignoble reminiscence.He failed to stand out to help Hassan out of terrible trouble,only because his week and fear in front of evil force when he is too young.But when he grows up,he becomes a man who has the courage to protect the person he care for.There is a old saying in China，“It's better for you to realize your mistake and try your best to correct it.” Amir can do as so,he deserve Hassan’s kindness and reader’s forgiveness.
The other point is about patriotism. Amir returns home when the war is finished ,he is jeered by some people who don’t leave Afghanistan,they think Amir and his father abandon their homeland when it is faced with trouble,which is unpatriotic.Although I can’t understand the father’s choice,I don’t stand at his side. Be wordly-wise and play safe is no ground for blame,because they are too dangerous to stay at home.But if all the people leave their homeland in war for their own peaceful life,will their home has future and hope? To be patriotic is not equal to devote one’s life for homeland according to implus and stupid ways,but when the home need you,you should take on your duty,but not just leave her.
Well.above is what I think during the first reading of the book.

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. 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.

For You, a Thousand Times over
I am convinced that few books are as good as this one. To be honest, I hadn’t maintained that this book would appeal me before I read it. However, I was absorbed in the book from the first chapter to the last one. Why this book has appealed to me that much? I asked myself. This book is not my type of reading for only romantic books could draw my attention successfully. Then I came into a conclusion that it is the friendship and familyship fascinated me.
To the world you are one person, but to the person who loves you, you are the world. Amir was Hassan’s world. Amir’s name had been the first word Hassan spoke. Hassan threatened brutal Assef for the sake of Amir. Hassan never failed to run the kite to please Amir. Hassan sacrificed himself for Amir’s house. These are more than a friend would do. Only those who loves you so much could challenge himself to do what Hassan did to Amir.To Hassan, Amir was not only a mere friend but a brother. He loved Amir more than anything else. Even after Amir betrayed him, he still told his son proudly“Agan Amir is my best friend”.Maybe for Hassan “for you, a thousand times over” has another meaning, which is not just kite running for Amir but he will do anything for Amir.
If Hassan could be described as an angel, then Amir was just a person. I did hate Amir for he watched Hassan be raped and did nothing, for he made Hassan leave his born-place, for he aimed Hassan with fruit（even though he actually tried to make himself get punished）. Amir didn’t deserve what Hassan did to him. I thought his meanness caused Hassan’s tragedy. But after I finished the book, I realized it is not Hassan’s tragedy, it is Amir’s. For what he had done to Hassan, he had led a live with regret and suffered endless sleepless nights. His going back to
Afghanistan is not only a journey physically but a journey to atonement. Hassan’s son, his nephew saved, Amir’s sin was finally washed. Like the life of circle, Amir ran kite for his miserable nephew.As Hassan did to him, he said “for you , a thousand times over” to Sohrab.Though the book doesn’t give us an accurate ending whether Sohrab came into life again. I am sure love can cure everything. Only when Sohrab lives a happy life as Hassan hoped can Amir’s sin washed up. The friendship between Hassan and Amir moved me. I believe All the people who read it is going to be touched just as I am. This book does make me think the good and the bad ,what’s
wrong and what’s right, the cruelty of war . Few books can exert an influence on people nowadays, this book sure does.

篇一：追风筝的人英文>读后感
I hate wars which make the world bloody ,cold and cruel, so I do not want to talk about the war. But it is miraculous to see a kite is cut off by another one. And the kite which is cut off flies away like a free bird. Hassan said to Amir that for you, one thousand times over. At first, I tought the friendship between Hassan and Amir was so deep. But then I found that Hassan was a servant in Amir’s home and began to realize it is some kind of loyalty. Though Hassan always said that Amir treated him as a friend, deep in his mind, he did not put them on the same line. In his eyes, Amir is the person he should look up to and protect, even do whatever he can do to help. Amir was affluence in material, but he did not have friends because of his race. I dislike him because he always ran away when Hassan was hurted by the others in order to protect him. In my opinion, if he stand up fo Hassan, things would have been different. I could not understand why Amir cheated to make Hassan leave at first, though their “friendship” is complicated. Now I come to know that Amir may try to push Hassan out of the position as a servant. And he wished that they stand in the same line and Hassan can chase for the things wanted by himself. Though Amir’s father said that a boy who won’t stand up for himself, becomes a man who won’t stand for anything, Amir finally turned into a brave man who standed up for Sohrab, the son of Hassan.
The kite tied Hassan and Amir tighter tighly. When I saw Hassan running after the kite, I realized that he was chasing for freedom as well. However when I saw Hassan running after the kite, I thought he was learning to protect things he cherished. There are many kites we are willing to have, but do you have the courage to chase for them?

《追风筝的人读后感(英文)》
The kite runner
After I finished this book, I can’t speak out one word . My heart was heavily depressed as same as when Amir heard that Hassan was his brother . I think it’s a sad story, but from some angles , it’s a turn.
Hassan was too loyal ,which shocked me many times at the when they were in Afghanistan. ’I won’t’ ,no matter how his master hit him, he won’t fight. ‘yes, I did.’ I was really annoyed when I read that Hassan admitted to stealing Amir’s watch, how can there be such a foolish man in the world ! I said to myself. ‘For you, a thousand times over.’ Three times in the whole novel, brief but
meaningful, kind and loyal. Every time I read the sentence, stayed at the page for a moment with a silent thinking, chewing the sentence over and over again. Hassan, he was willing to sacrifice for Amir no matter what has happened between them. He can lie to his respectful host in order to help Amir to plant himself, but we all know that he hasn't lied even once. He even can eat mud if he wants him to. He hadn't any complaints despite he knew Amir didn't come out when Amir has witnessed it all. What a pity that he and his wife was killed by gun of the local greedy officers, leading Sohrab to be an orphan.
As for Amir, The former part , in one hand, I felt shame about his cowardly and selfish, his unmoral behave made me feel awful. But on the other hand, I Sympathized for his guilt and weak to tell out the truth or face Hassan . The later part gave us a brave and responsible Amir, who came back to Afghanistan where was covered with ruins and
shell without any hesitation. He began his redemption road. His house witnessed the big chance around the town,
damaged house, dead wood and hungry people, which made him firmly believe that they have gone a wrong way and also
made him want to find Sohrab more badly. Through the orphanage he finally found Sohrab who was good at
slingshot like his father. For him, Amir is nearly killed by Assef during the fierce fight ,just like Hassan for him, just like his father risking protecting an unknown woman. At last , his brave made him finish the compensation: taking Sohrab to the American , running the kite for him and said “for you，a thousand times over” to Sohrab like Hassan said it to himself 26 years ago.
The value of life is demonstrated vividly in the way of redemption. Amir, in a fierce battle with the ruthless, he recovered his hidden courage; at the same time
enlightening Hassan's son, he also had some new
understanding about life.
"Many years later, people say old stories can be buried, but I finally understand that is wrong, because the past will come back itself, I realize that in the past 26 years I was always peeping that barren trail. "
Every one has mad mistakes, every one has hurt others. And in turn, every one had their own punishment. Because
nothing can conquer conscience. So, when you hurt others, your conscience must be guilty . That's why Amir has been carrying such a heavy mind for the three decades. When he came back for his conscience, and when he was willing to chase a kite bravely , I think, even all the answers wrong and wrong, at least, his heart liberated.
I think there is a Amir in everyone's heart, making
mistake because of coward but being afraid of facing and running away also because of his coward. Escaping would be transported into hurt to others and become crimes. Crimes vary in forms, but Amir's father gave a answer, theft. "There is only a crime in the world ,that is
theft ...... When you lie, you deprive someone’s right
to know the truth." which is the famous sentence of Amir’s father, this sentence runs through the whole novel. So in my opinion ,all the coward would become a crime which makes other hurt. But if we can face with our own coward like the adult Amir, we couldn’t become a guilt person and live brave and happy.

《追风筝的人读后感 英文》
The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner (Shanghai People’s publishing house, 2006-5-1) Khaled Hosseini tells the story of Amir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who was haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant.
Twelve year old Amir was desperate to win the approval of his father, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He had failed to do so through academia, but the one area where they connected was the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir was determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and brought it home successfully, to prove to his father that he had the ability of a man. His loyal friend Hassan was the best kite runner that Amir had ever seen, and he promised to help him - for Hassan always helped Amir out of trouble. But Hassan was a Shi'a Muslim and this was 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan was taunted and jeered at by Amir's school friends; he was merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amir's house.
Although Hassan was loyal to Amir, Amir hurted Hassan again and again. Amir’s behavior could really be called "mean"，but I believe，every reader will forgive him. Because everyone's heart has a Amir，he is timid, sensitive and filled with jealousy. But Amir had a moral sense than any other people, he was strict with himself. Because of this, when he couldn't resist the temptation and had to do something that hurt the loyal hassan , he would never forgive himself for the betrayal of hassan. At last ,he tried to adopted the orphan of Hassan so that he got the final redemption
Compared with Amir，Hassan was simple. He was loyal and kind. Whatever Amir did to him ,he would forgive him. He finally died in order to protect the Amir’s house. He kept his promise with his life :“For you, times over!”
After reading this book, I have a deeper understanding of responsibility. This book contains a lot——responsibility, honesty, friendship, forgiveness and so on. Everyone may make mistakes, but the most important thing is to have the courage to take responsibility for it. There were many times that we hurt others because of impulsive thoughts.
This book tells us the auther atoned for his crime after innumerable trials and hardships. We can feel his personality charm.
The kite，in this book，is family love ,is friendship, is kindness, is honesty. It was an indispensable part in our personality.
Everyone has a kite in his heart, no matter what it means, we need the courage to pursue it.

《追风筝的人读后感Salvation and Growth》
Salvation and Growth
--After reading The Kite Runner For you, a thousand times over.
This is what Hassan said to Amir, and this is also a chain which has locked Amir for years. These simple words means I would like to do anything thing for you, I would like to get hurt for you, and I even would like to die for you, I am not your servant, I am your friends, your dear brother. Because of his cowardice, his ruthlessness, his selfishness, and his hypocrisy, the poor Hassan had no choice but left Amir’s home and started a new hard life during his whole time.
These all always remind Amir the salvation, which is able to save his soul. With the years he growing up, Amir was always finding the way to save all the mistakes that he had made. The first phase for him was realizing his mistakes. Soon after Hassan left Amir’s home, Afghanistan broke into war, Amir and his Baba moved to the U.S. Not being rich and superior anymore, Amir and his Baba lived a hard or even struggling life in America. His Baba worked in a gas station, and earned a tiny income. The older his Baba’s age getting, the worse his heath condition was. Amir knew all those hard situation, all he want to do is living a flat life—successfully graduate from school, marry a beautiful woman, and take good care of his Baba. Amir knows his fault well, and he feels guilty, so he wants to realize salvation through the flat and quiet life. Hopefully, Hassan can forgive him.
The second phase of his salvation is finding the truth. Trace back to his childhood, the crowded street, the big house, the colorful skies with countless kites, but Amir seemed not happy. He hated his Baba, because he thought his Baba never cared about him, and never loved him. He even treated Hassan better. All this made Amir’s heart become more and more twisted and dark. So, he choose to stay far from his Baba and never consider Hassan his best friend at all. But, as he grows old, he gradually feels his Baba’s love when they were struggled in the U.S. And one day, from his uncle Rahim’s call from Afghanistan, he finally understood that Hassan is his Baba’s natural son and his natural brother! The truth is clear and heavy, Amir became more and more eager to find ways to save his mistakes, to stand in front of Hassan and say “sorry”. And also, he was eager to say sorry to his Baba, unfortunately, he can never have this chance any more.
The third phase of his salvation is putting all his eagerness into practice. After knowing the truth that Hassan was his natural brother, which could be a catalyst for Amir to make a decision to come back to Afghanistan. For realizing his decision, Amir started his journey to his old hometown. By the difficult searching of Hassan, Amir finally found where he lived. When he arrived, only found Hassan and his wife were both died. What a pity! All the words he wants to say to Hassan were gone with the wind, and all the apologies he wants to express were became the bubble. According to the only photo that Hassan left, Amir finally found his son and took him to the U.S, hoped that treat his son better can save the mistakes which he made to Hassan. So, we can see that in the last line of this book, “ For you, a thousand times
over” should be the words that he wants to say to Hassan and his son.
As for ourselves, we can always be Amir, too. As we grow up day by say, year by year, proud and confident, we become more and more mature, however, we can’t forget some mistakes that we made in our childhood. We may probably think it was no big deal then, but in fact, it can did a big harm to those people that you ever hurt. For example, when I am a kid, I once broke the glass window in our classroom. To avoid punishment and judgments from other students, I chose to betray my friend and tell the teacher it was she who made the trouble. So, the result is, I got away from the punishment, however, my friend took this blame. I thought she didn't know I was the betrayer, but actually she does. She didn't say anything, but our relationship was gone. When I grow up, I know my fault, and I want to express my apology to her, but I lose the contact. What a pity!
The name of this book called The Kite Runner, actually, deep in everyone’s heart, there exists a kite, which symbolizes the family affection, love, and friendship, and also the integrity, honesty, and kindness. For Amir, the kite stands for the part of his personality that can't be spoken out, and for the salvation that he can’t avoid to realize. Only by catching the kite, he can find the way to be a good person, to be a real man, to be himself that he expected. But we are coward, we lack the courage to keep our integrity and faith, to protect the one we love even when we face the insult, the death directly. But in fact, what we should face up is only ourselves. More worse, the one we betrayed choose to forgive us, but our heart choose not! So, we need salvation, we need it to help us grow up, to become a real man, a real good man in the world. This book really makes us to think ourselves, realize our mistakes, find the truth and put all your thought into practice. That is exactly a salvation, a kind of way we define to save our souls.
For you, a thousand times over.
For one who we have ever hurt, a thousand times over.

《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》：找到“再次成为好人的路”
编者按《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》不仅是一部政治纪事，也是一个童年选择如何影响我们成年生活极度贴近人性的故事。在作者笔下，社变革前的阿富汗温馨且幽默，但也因为不同种族之间的摩擦而出现紧张，充满令人回味难忘的景象。
阅读《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》，如同于一个春日煦煦的午后，做了一场恬淡而怡人的梦。又仿佛在春水边，垂柳下，悠然地眺望远山，心旷神怡之余，有一缕黛青色的忧伤。
阿米尔的故事是在一种淡淡的回忆的笔调下开始的„„
童年。阿富汗。他和哈桑。哈桑是仆人的儿子，与他如影随形。“我的整个童年，似乎就是和桑一起度过的某个懒洋洋的悠长夏日，我们在爸爸院子里那些交错的树木中彼此追逐，玩捉迷藏，玩警察与强盗，玩牛仔和印第安人，折磨昆虫„„”他们也一起放风筝，追风筝。然而也正是追风筝，成了阿米尔和哈桑心口永远的痛。当哈桑去为他追那只被割断的蓝风筝时，阿米尔发现哈桑为保住风筝遭受了鸡奸，但他并未挺身出，两人友谊破裂。事过境迁，阿米尔远迁美国，但他对哈桑的负罪感未减，后来他知晓了有关家庭的巨大秘密，原来哈桑是他同父异母的弟弟。为了找回“再次成为好人的路”，阿米尔重返阿富汗，而哈桑已死，经过千难万险，阿米尔救出哈桑的孩子，回到美。为了温暖孩子孤寂的心，他和孩子一起放风筝，当内心涌出哈桑曾说过的“为你，千千万万遍!”并捕捉到孩子唇边的一抹微笑时，他才真正得到了救赎„„
作为全球畅销又感动了千千万万人温情小说，《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》笔触清淡，表达感情温婉含蓄，叙述笔调沉静中暗含忧伤。它关注了亲情、友情与爱情，感恩与救赎，真相与谎言„„在复杂变动的历史大背景下，以一种从容平和的静美心态讲述了一个枝节复杂而情节动人的故事。就如同一羽微风轻拂的羽毛，慢慢地轻触掌心。
每个人都有自己回忆往事的方式。林海音的《城南旧事》，无忧无虑的童年一如小英子澈的双眸；捷克诗人赛弗尔特在其回忆录《世界美如斯》中，将一切不美好的往事滤去，将女性、温情和美常留心中，用温情和美好涤荡着阅读者的心灵，回忆中常见爱。卡勒德·胡赛的《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》兼具这些特点而沉静有加，更类川端康成的《千羽鹤》，以缓慢的方式来摹写人性的悲苦。但是感觉最相似的还是伊朗导演马吉德马吉迪的《小鞋子》。
《小鞋子》是新写实主义电影的代表作，在导演的镜头下，通过阿里纯真的眼睛来看世
界，来表达温情与善良，展现简单质朴中蕴藏的人性的美好。而《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》也用闲远的笔触描绘了哈桑的正直、勇敢与纯净。哈桑追逐风筝绝类阿里为得到一双小鞋子的奋力奔跑。在电影中，小鞋子是主线；在《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》中，风筝是一个象征。它是珍贵的友情、温的亲情、美好的爱情，也是忠诚、友善、勇敢„„而对阿米尔而言，童年时的那次追风筝，他的自私、怯懦伤害了哈桑，他在对友情的背叛中也丧失了自己的部分人格；而他为哈桑的儿子追风筝其实是获得救赎的途径，追风筝成为阿米尔成长史中的仪式!
也许每个人心中都有这样那样的心结，都有一只曾经的风筝，只要用善待他人的诚实的心去呵护，都能找到“再次成为好人的路”！(来源：北京晨报)[2]
每个人心中都有一个风筝 --- 李继宏
如今印刷技术发达，每年出版的书籍汗牛充栋，数以十万计，如何才能挑选自己喜欢的图书呢？通常，判断一本从未看过的书是否值得买，可以依靠两个标准：一是口碑，二是销量。幸得有网络，我们才能轻而易举地利用这两个标准来进行筛选。
以亚马逊美国站的文学类图书排行榜为例。在这个排行榜的前100名中，我们既可以找到《达芬奇密码》、《维纳斯的诞生》这样让作者赚得盆满钵满的畅销书，也能见到《一九八四》、《简爱》等举世公认的文学经典。当然，我们都知道，销量好的书未必质量也好，所以除了看排名之外，还得借鉴相关读者评价。
在前100名中，读者评论超过1200篇而相应等级达到四星以上的图书有四本，按畅销程度排名依次为《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》、《艺妓回忆录》、《杀死一只知更鸟》、《一九八四》。如果我们把前100名缩减为前50名，乔治·奥威尔的代表作就落选了。如果我们再加上一条，自出版以来稳居前三名，那么就只剩下《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》。
《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》的主角是阿米尔，侨居美国的阿富汗人，年近不惑。2001年夏天，阿米尔接到父执拉辛汗的电话。拉辛汗行将就木，乞求阿米尔赴巴基斯坦见他最后一面。这个电话让阿米尔回忆起居住过的喀布尔，想起他故去的父亲，他家的仆人阿里，当然，还有童年的玩伴哈桑。
阿米尔的父亲是喀布尔屈指可数的富商巨贾，而哈桑是仆人阿里的儿子。阿米尔是逊尼派穆斯林，是普什图人，聪慧过人，性格软弱；哈桑是什叶派穆斯林，是被压迫的哈扎拉人，目不识丁，勇敢正直。然而他们从小一起长大，由于两人都自小没有母亲，甚至还由同一个奶妈哺乳。他们的跨越了社会的、种族的、宗教的区隔，成为了彼此最好的朋友；社会地位、宗教和种族也同时阻碍他们成为彼此最好的朋友。无论如何，他们共同度过了11年的美好时光。
12岁那年，阿米尔和哈桑参加了阿富汗传统的斗风筝比赛。阿米尔将对手统统打败，
成为最后那只在天空中翱翔的风筝的主人。而要赢得最终的胜利，还必须追到被他最后割断的风筝。哈桑是当地最出色的追风筝高手，他替阿米尔去追，他承诺阿米尔要追到：“为你，千千万万遍”。风筝追到了，哈桑却惨遭横祸。阿米尔目睹一切，性格软弱的他选择了袖手旁观，选择了充满疚恨懊悔的生活。为了摆脱内心的折磨，阿米尔再次错误地选择了逼哈桑离开家门。随后，苏联入侵阿富汗，阿米尔和他父亲亡命出逃，离乡背井地到了美国，开始了他的新生活，结婚，埋葬相依为命的父亲，成为崭露头角的作家。
拉辛汗的电话唤起了阿米尔童年的痛苦，却也为他指明了方向：“那儿有再次成为好人的路。”为了赎罪，阿米尔登上了前往巴基斯坦的飞机。然而到了巴基斯坦，却是奇峰突起，哈桑早已死于非命，遗留下幼小的儿子，孤零零地寄居在喀布尔的孤儿院。此时拉辛汗透露了一个惊天秘密，彻底摧毁了阿米尔对童年的体验和回忆。一番挣扎之后，阿米尔决意冒着生命危险，重返被塔利班占领的危机四伏的喀布尔，去寻找哈桑的儿子„„
和西方其他畅销书动辄以性欲、爱情为噱头吸引读者不同，《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》虽然也穿插了部分爱情描写，但本质上是一部关于亲情和友谊的小说。自2003年出版以来，几乎囊括英语世界所有文学新人奖，曾经创下同时占据九大图书排行榜榜首长达数十周之久的纪录，除了上述网络销售的惊人业绩外，迄今仍停留在《纽约时报》平装本小说排行榜上，并且被翻译成数十种文字，在各个国家地区——从美国到英国，从法国到意大利，从台湾到巴西——风行不息。这不可谓不是异数。是什么让这本既不引起读者的性冲动、也不给予读者发财致富的灵妙法门的图书，如此跨越文化、跨越种族，深深地打动全世界各地亿万读者的心呢？
那是因为，在《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》中，风筝是象征性的，它既可以是亲情、友情、爱情，也可以是正直、善良、诚实。“追风筝的人”既是哈桑，也是阿米尔，更是我们每个人。对阿米尔来说，风筝隐喻他人格必不可少的部分，只有追到了，他才能成为健全的人，成为他自我期许的阿米尔。而我们，所有的读者，难道心中对自己没有一个完美的期许吗？我们被《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》打动，我们为哈桑的悲惨遭遇伤心欲绝，我们为阿米尔的犹豫不决痛心疾首，我们为“爸爸”的能屈能伸暗自赞叹，我们为拉辛汗的一世坎坷唏嘘难胜，并且我们最终为阿米尔终于追到了他的风筝庆幸不已，难道不是因为我们每个人心中都有一个尚未追到的风筝吗？
当然，我们从来不缺乏说教的作家，恰恰相反，我们从小被强迫看了太多类似的书籍，甚至已经产生出强烈反感；我们也从来不缺乏给人希望的、煽情的故事，毕竟，如今国内海外不是有那么多入流或未入流的作者，世事洞明或为赋新词地写出欢天喜地或撕心裂肺的拙劣或者精致的文字，试图从我们口袋里掏钱吗？但《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》之所以能够成功地将小说中的角色、际遇和心理活动投射到读者的阅读体验乃至个人经历中，是因为作者卡勒德?胡赛尼罕有其匹的叙事技巧和驾驭长篇小说的能力。
单纯从叙事技巧上看，很难相信《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》是卡勒德·胡赛尼的
处女作。书中几乎没有一个多余的句子，每个场景，乃至每句对话，都为后面情节的发展埋下了伏线。阿米尔的父亲在种花的时候突如其来的勃然大怒原来因为后来揭露的惊天秘密；在巴基斯坦某个茶馆看到的桌子却原来暗示了阿米尔后来免于一死的契机。我们不断阅读，不断产生疑问，不断恍然大悟；而这种阅读过程中的瞻前顾后，使得这本20余万字的小说浑然一体，一旦看了个开头，就再也放不下。
《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》给读者提供的，并非只有这种阅读快感。书中对情景的描写栩栩如生，对人物的构建跃然纸上，对心理的刻画入木三分，对情节的处理游刃有余。身为本书的译者，我清楚地记得，胡赛尼是如何通过情景的白描让我身临远在万里之外的喀布尔，是如何利用人物的举止言谈让我和他们一一会面，是如何处理心理的张力让我患得患失，是如何切换场景延迟了情节的高潮。我不会忘记，在翻译过程中，有多少次为了哈桑而情不自禁地泪流满面，有多少次因为“爸爸”而获得了信心和力量，有多少次为了阿米尔的妻子索拉雅而会心微笑。
没有任何文学作品可以脱离时代背景而不朽，《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》也一样。如果卡勒德?胡赛尼只是把小说局限在几个人的恩怨情仇上，那么《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》立即就会沦为无病呻吟的失败之作。在小说中，胡赛尼给我们描绘了一个饱满而丰富的阿富汗，还有同样饱满而丰富的穆斯林文化。阿富汗君主制的终结、苏联入侵、内战、塔利班当权、911事件等等，无不天衣无缝地融合为小说人物的生活背景。我们从中看到了种族和种族的冲突，看到了宗教和宗教的矛盾，看到了文化和文化的融合，看到了个人感情和社会制度的对立，总而言之，我们看到了真实的生活世界，看到了时代的节奏和变迁。
在这里，我没有意图将《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》言过其实地吹嘘成为无懈可击的文学经典。实际上，阻碍这本书成为经典作品的是原文的语言水平。胡赛尼的英文称得上流畅，但词汇贫乏，句子简单，甚至不时出现病句。而语言作为评价小说的重要因素之一，永远是不能够被忽略的。同样是寓居美国的外裔人士，较之于纳博科夫的诡谲万端和繁复异常，较之于库切的返璞归真和大巧若拙，胡赛尼的英文水平显得如同小学生那样幼稚。这也是《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》唯一为人诟病的所在。
剩下的，还是交给《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》，让文本自己说话。也许每个人心中都有一个风筝，无论它是什么，希望读者在看完《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》之后，都能够勇敢地追。
