Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Well-written, but truly horrible and I hated it. I would give it five stars if I were to be objective and one star for my personal enjoyment, so in the end - three stars. I'm not going to read it ever again. ( ) Just like his lying co-religionist, Elie Weisel "Night", Jerry Kosinski turned out to be a fraud intent on adding his 10 cents to the holocaust myth - 6,000,000 is a wholly unsupported figure - but - real figures for WW2 dead are: 24,000,000++ Russians, 8,800,000 Germans, 20,000,000++- Chinese - Japan 3,100,000, and the USA gave up 420,000 of its boys - in total the war led to 45,000,000 dead civilians, 15,000,000 dead soldiers, and 25,000,000 battle wounded - that totals an astonishing 85,000,000 dead and wounded but all we ever hear about (endlessly) are the so-called 6,000,000.

Originally published in 1965, The Painted Bird established Jerzy Kosinski as a major literary figure. 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.
