Kosinski's story follows a dark-haired, olive-skinned boy, abandoned by his parents during World War II, as he wanders alone from one village to another, sometimes hounded and tortured, only rarely sheltered and cared for. Through the juxtaposition of adolescence and the most brutal of adult experiences, Kosinski sums up a Bosch-like world of harrowing excess where senseless violence and untempered hatred are the norm. Through sparse prose and vivid imagery, Kosinski's novel is a story of mythic proportion, even more relevant to today's society than it was upon its original publication. -- from http://www.amazon.com (Jan. 12, 2016). 000775884 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$zEurope, Eastern$$vFiction. 000775884 650_0 $$aAbandoned children$$zPoland$$y20th century$$vFiction. 000775884 651_0 $$aPoland$$xHistory$$yOccupation, 1939-1945$$vFiction. 000775884 651_0 $$aEurope, Eastern$$xHistory$$y20th century$$vFiction. 000775884 655_7 $$aAutobiographical fiction.$$2lcgft 000775884 655_7 $$aWar fiction.$$2lcgft 000775884 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3561.O8$$iP3$$i1995 000775884 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:775884$$pGLOBAL_SET 000775884 980__ $$aBIB 000775884 980__ $$aBOOK
