M. Coetzee returns with a haunting and surprising novel about childhood and destiny that is sure to rank with his classic novels. Separated from his mother as a passenger on a boat bound for a new land, David is a boy who is quite literally adrift. The piece of paper explaining his situation is lost, but a fellow passenger, Simón, vows to look after the boy. When the boat docks, David and Simón are issued new names, new birthdays, and virtually a whole new life. Strangers in a strange land, knowing nothing of their surroundings, nor the language or customs, they are determined to find David's mother. Though the boy has no memory of her, Simón is certain he will recognize her at first sight. "But after we find her," David asks, "what are we here for?" An eerie allegorical tale told largely through dialogue, The Childhood of Jesus is a literary feat-a novel of ideas that is also a tender, compelling narrative. Coetzee's many fans will celebrate his return while new readers will find The Childhood of Jesus an intriguing introduction to the work of a true master"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000683179 650_0 $$aGuardian and ward$$vFiction. 000683179 655_7 $$aAllegories.$$2lcgft 000683179 85200 $$bgen$$hPR9369.3.C58$$iC45$$i2013b 000683179 85642 $$3Cover image$$uftp://ppftpuser:welcome@ftp01.penguingroup.com/Booksellers and Media/Covers/2008_2009_New_Covers/9780670014651.jpg 000683179 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:683179$$pGLOBAL_SET 000683179 980__ $$aBIB 000683179 980__ $$aBOOK
