"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.
