Nguyen Nhat Anh

Ticket to Childhood (eBook, ePUB)

A Novel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"This charming short work recalls The Little Prince in its depiction of childhood sensibilities pitted against an often illogical and absurd adult world" ( Publishers Weekly). A fable for all ages and a massive bestseller in the author's home country of Vietnam, Ticket to Childhood captures the texture of childhood in all of its richness. Narrated by a man looking back, it explores the small miracles and tragedies, the misadventures and misdeeds, that made up his life. We meet his long-lost friends, none of whom can forget how rich their lives once were. Even if Nguyen Nhat Anh can't take us back to our own younger days, he proves himself a master at capturing those innocent times with great deftness-in a novel that also offers "a startlingly vivid portrait of 21st-century Vietnam and its growing pains" ( Shelf Awareness). "A hugely appealing and engaging author." - The New Criterion
