"Lost Boy" John Bul Dau’s harrowing experience surviving the brutal horrors of Sudanese civil war and his adjustment to life in modern America is chronicled in this inspiring memoir and featured in an award-winning documentary film of the same name. Movingly written, the book traces Dau’s journey through hunger, exhaustion, terror, and violence as he fled his homeland, dodging ambushes, massacres and attacks by wild animals. I read this book about a year ago (Fall 2007). I found it to be very uplifting, despite the tribulations the author experienced when he was fleeing for his life and living in refugee camps. I borrowed the video from the library after I completed the book, and found more inspiration there. I recommend this book to all. This book is absolutely amazing. The author uses a very simple narrative voice to tell a story that is both riveting and terrible. The genocide in Sudan is physically so far from most of the people who will read the book, but John Bul Dau makes his life real to the reader. His story is one that incites awe and admiration for the human spirit, especially his. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"John Bul Dau was born in 1974 and grew up in a traditional cattle-centered farm in Duk County. In 1987 when the Sudanese civil war brought northern soldiers to his village in a nighttime raid, John fled into the bush to save his life, becoming one of the thousands of Lost Boys who fled their homeland to grasp at a chance for survival. In 2001 he immigrated to Syracuse, New York"--From publisher's description. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
