Empire of the sun

Ballard, James Graham (Autor)

The story of a British boy's four-year ordeal in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War. Based on the author's own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a boy's life in Japanese-occupied wartime Shanghai - a novel of war, of starvation, internment camps and death marches. It is a novel by which the 20th century will not only be remembered but judged.
