The classic, award-winning novel, made famous by Steven
Spielberg's film, tells of a young boy's struggle to
survive World War II in China.
Jim is separated from his parents in a world at war. To
survive, he must find a strength greater than all the
events that surround him. Shanghai, 1941 -- a city aflame from the fateful torch of
Pearl Harbor. In streets full of chaos and corpses, a young
British boy searches in vain for his parents. Imprisoned in
a Japanese concentration camp, he is witness to the fierce
white flash of Nagasaki, as the bomb bellows the end of the
war...and the dawn of a blighted world. Ballard's enduring novel of war and deprivation, internment
camps and death marches, and starvation and survival is an
honest coming-of-age tale set in a world thrown utterly out
of joint.
