“This earnest, heart-on-the-sleeve memoir reinforces the
preciousness of all human life and should serve as a reality check
for the rest of world.” —”Star Tribune” (Minneapolis)

to his new life, learning along the way that differences can be
bridged peacefully.” —”Windsor Star” (Ontario)
“One sweetly funny moment in this book occurs when Dau meets a nice
guy named Brad, who turns out to be the film’s producer, Brad
Pitt.” —”Times-Picayune” (New Orleans)
内容简介
“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. His tortuous, 14-year
journey began in 1987, when he was just 13, and took him on a
1,000-mile walk, barefoot, to Ethiopia, back to Sudan, then to a
refugee camp in Kenya, where he lived with thousands of other Lost
Boys. In 2001, at the age of 27, he immigrated to the United
States. With touching humor, Dau recounts the shock of his tribal
culture colliding with life in America. He shares the joy of
reuniting with his family and the challenges of making a new life
for himself while never forgetting the other Lost Boys he left
behind.
