Introducing the Collins Modern Classics, a series featuring some of
the most significant books of recent times, books that shed light
on the human experience - classics which will endure for
generations to come.. Like everything else since the war, the sky
was in a state of change Based on J. G. Ballard's own childhood,
this is the extraordinary account of a boy's life in
Japanese-occupied Shanghai. Trapped in a prison camp and separated
from his parents, Jim is witness to the death, starvation and chaos
of the Second World War. His story is a mesmerising vision of a
world thrown utterly out of joint. Winner of the James Tait Black
Memorial Prize and shortlisted for the Booker, Empire of the Sun is
an astounding, hypnotically compelling novel by which the twentieth
century will be not only remembered, but judged. 'Remarkable ...
form, content and style fuse with complete success ... one of the
great war novels of the 20th century' William Boyd
