Synopsis
He is seperated from his parents in a world at war. To survive, he must find a strength greater that all the events that surround him...
In Empire of the Sun J.G. Ballard has produced a mesmerizing, hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches, which 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 not only be remembered but judged.
