The classic, heartrending story of a British boys four year ordeal in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War. Newly reissued with an introduction by John Lanchester. n n n Based on J. G. Ballards own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a boys 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. n n n Rooted as it is in the authors 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. n n n This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballards works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Zadie Smith, Rivka Galchen, Hari Kunzru and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs from the artist Stanley Donwood. n
