追风筝的人内容简介
《追风筝的人》（英语：The Kite Runner，又译“追风筝的孩子”）是美籍阿富汗裔作家卡勒德·胡赛尼的第一部小说，也是第一部由阿富汗裔作家创作的英文小说。
小说于2003年由河源出版社在美国出版，以第一人称讲述了来自阿富汗首都喀布尔富人区的普什图少年阿米尔（Amir）和他的童年好友，父亲的哈扎拉仆人哈桑（Hassan）之间的故事。故事的背景设定涵盖了一系列复杂的历史事件，其中包括阿富汗君主制被推翻，苏联军事入侵，阿富汗难民逃往巴基斯坦和美国，以及塔利班政权的崛起等重要事件。
作者胡赛尼认为这部小说是一个父子之间的故事，强调了小说的“家庭”层面，而这一主题也在他的后续作品中得以延续。小说前半部分的关键情节中，阿米尔未能保护哈桑免受暴力伤害，就此引出了整部小说所突出的“罪恶感”和“救赎”的主题；小说的后半部分则围绕阿米尔在二十年后的赎罪历程展开。
《追风筝的人》出版之后即成为畅销书，在各个读书俱乐部也广泛流传，在美国销量超过700万册，连续两年位列《纽约时报》畅销书榜首。小说获得普遍好评，但也有部分情节在阿富汗引起重大争议。此外，小说还被改编成诸多衍生作品，其中包括一部2007年的同名电影、多部舞台剧和一部漫画小说。

创作背景
据作者自述，他和他的兄弟在喀布尔度过的日子就像阿米尔和哈桑的生活那样：夏天的大部分时间都在上学。冬天就去放风筝，在电影院看约翰·韦恩的电影。书中跟他的经历最相似的情节是在美国的日子，阿米尔和他的父亲努力创造新的生活。他和阿米尔一样，是一个来自于阿富汗斯坦的移民。他家在瓦兹尔·阿克巴·汗区的房子很大，在那里能举行盛大的派对；他们还去帕格曼野餐。他对童年生活的记忆非常美好。

英文简介:
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.

Book Description
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.

关于追风筝的人的英文介绍和读后感，字数两百左右就好了，最好写得感人一点，谢谢就好了，
“for you,a thousand times over”——为你，千千万万次，《追风筝的人》中最感人的一句，第一次是哈桑去为阿米尔去追象征战利品的风筝时，转身微笑大叫着说的话！这是纯粹、坚定的友谊！第二次是多年后阿米尔历经九死一生从阿富汗带回哈桑留下的儿子，为他放风筝时说的话！这是百折不回的责任精神！这本小说是关于背叛和救赎，一个男孩蜕变成一个男人的故事！这不是一个人的背叛和救赎，而是阿米尔和他的父亲两代人的背叛和救赎！少年阿米尔背叛了勇敢忠心的小伙伴，阿米尔的父亲背叛了爱人（尽管已经死去）和忠心的仆人（同样也是忠心的伙伴）！而这一切，只能通过阿米尔冒死进入战火纷飞的阿富汗带回哈桑的儿子来实现救赎！
