About This Item
Condition: Near fine, very slight spine wear and top edge creases. Advance uncorrected proof which has some proofing marks on several pages margins so it seems this might have been a slightly later copy of the proof.
J.G. Ballard's semi-autobiographical tale of World War 2 and it's effects on a young boy in Shanghai. Made into a film directed by Steven Spielberg and starring a young Christian Bale and John Malkovich.

Synopsis
Empire of the Sun is a 1984 novel by J. G. Ballard which was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Like Ballard's earlier short story, "The Dead Time" (published in the anthology Myths of the Near Future), it is essentially fiction but draws extensively on Ballard's experiences in World War II. Ballard later wrote a sequel, entitled The Kindness of Women.
