{"product_id":"empire-of-the-sun-1","title":"Empire of the Sun","description":"The “profound and moving work of the imagination” (Los Angeles Times Book Review) that inspired the classic motion picture by Steven Spielberg, tells the epic story of a young boy’s struggle to survive World War II in China.\n\nShanghai, 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.\n\nBallard’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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0743265238\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0743265238.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ballard, J.
