   Описание
Джеймс Баллард, написавший несколько книг и известный всему миру как фантаст, прежде всего знаменит автобиографическим романом "Империя Солнца" о нескольких годах своей мальчишечьей жизни в концентрационном лагере в Китае в период японской оккупации в годы Второй мировой войны. Эта правдивая и жестокая история о выживании в условиях голода, смертей и жестокости людей по отношению друг к другу не содержит моральных оценок и потрясает той непосредственностью, с которой одиннадцатилетний Джим приспосабливается к войне.
Книга на английском языке.
The classic, heartrending story of a British boy’s four year ordeal in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War. Newly reissued with an introduction by John Lanchester.
Based on J. G. Ballard’s own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a boy’s life in Japanese-occupied wartime Shanghai – a mesmerising, hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches. It blends searing honesty with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint.
Rooted as it is in the author’s own disturbing experience of war in our time, it is one of a handful of novels by which the twentieth century will be not only remembered but judged.
This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard’s works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Adam Thirlwell, Hari Kunzru, James Lever and Ali Smith) and brand-new cover designs from the artist Stanley Donwood.
