Empire of the Sun : a novel / J.G. Ballard. by Ballard, J. G., 1930-2009. Simon and Schuster Paperbacks, 2005, c1984. Call #: FICTION BAL Subjects World War, 1939-1945 -- China -- Fiction.   British -- China -- Fiction.   Children and war -- Fiction.   Prisoners of war -- Fiction.   Coping with hardship -- Fiction.   Shanghai (China) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780007221523 (trade pbk.) 9780743265232 (trade pbk.) Description:  279 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Classic novel 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."--Publisher.
