  • "El Imperio del Sol recoge mis experiencias en Shangai, China, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y en Lunghua C.A.C. (Civilian Assembly Center), donde estuve internado entre 1942 y 1945. En su mayor parte, esta novela se funda en acontecimientos que observé durante la ocupación japonesa de Shangai y en el campo de Lunghua. El ataque japonés a Pearl Harbor ocurrió el domingo 7 de diciembre de 1941, pero a consecuencia de la diferencia horaria a ambos lados del meridiano del Pacífico, en Shangai era ya la mañana del lunes 8 de diciembre."@es

  • ""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 own time, it is one of a handful of novels by which the twentieth century will be not only remembered but judged."--Publisher's website."

Then he is captured and interned in a Japanese prison camp with other civilians. The story of the next four years is one of struggling to stay alive by any means possible." Libr J."@en
