卡勒德·胡赛尼
以写实的笔法,诉说着温情与残酷,美丽与苦难,它不仅仅展示了一个人的心灵成长史,也展示了一个民族的灵魂史,一个国家的苦难史。因为这部书,让世界了解了一个遭受战火蹂躏的、默默无闻的阿富汗斯坦人,这才是文学的魅力,也是这部小说的艺术魅力。但是这部小说不仅如此,它之所以能够吸引不同民族、国家的读者,撼动读者内心纤细的情感,是因为它讨论了关于人性和人性的拯救问题,这是现代人类面临的共同话题。人性的救赎才是这部小说的核心价值。内容简介:阿富汗富家少爷阿米尔与仆人哈桑情同手足。一场风筝比赛后,哈桑为给阿米尔逐回落下的风筝,受到阿塞夫的侮辱,阿米尔却没救哈桑。因为愧疚他与哈桑远离后分离。后战争爆发,阿米尔逃到美国,多年后,为救赎,他把哈桑的儿子带到美国。

乔治·麦克唐纳
One of nineteenth-century novelist George MacDonald's most important works, Phantastes tells the story of its narrator's dreamlike adventures in fairyland, masterfully recounted to convey a sense of profound sadness and a poignant longing for death. Introduced by C.S.
"I was dead, and right content," the narrator says in the penultimate chapter of Phantastes. C.S. Lewis said that upon reading this astonishing 19th-century fairy tale he "had crossed a great frontier," and numerous others both before and since have felt similarly. In MacDonald's fairy tales, both those for children and (like this one) those for adults, the "fairy land" clearly represents the spiritual world, or our own world revealed in all of its depth and meaning. At times almost forthrightly allegorical, at other times richly dreamlike (and indeed having a close connection to the symbolic world of dreams), this story of a young man who finds himself on a long journey through a land of fantasy is more truly the story of the spiritual quest that is at the core of his life's work, a quest that must end with the ultimate surrender of the self. The glory of MacDonald's work is that this surrender is both hard won (or lost!) and yet rippling with joy when at last experienced. As the narrator says of a heavenly woman in this tale, "She knew something too good to be told." One senses the same of the author himself.
