Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, USA: Laurel Leaf/Random House, 2003. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6?" - 7?" tall. Paperback in Very Good Condition. Clean and unmarked with slight wear to cover edges, pages toned, clean, with no markings, no creasing. Glued binding tight. Young Phillip is not worried when the Germans invade his home island of Curacao-he is young enough to find war a game--until the freighter on which he is traveling with his mother to the US is torpedoed. He ends up on a raft in the middle of the sea, with an old West Indian, Timothy. His mother had warned him that black people were "different". Well, Phillip ends up blind due to a blow to his head and he is totally dependent on Timothy. Phillip comes to understand the dignified, wise, and loving old man who cares for him as they struggle for survival. 137 pages. 4.25 x 7 inches. 2003, Laurel Leaf/Random House, New York, New York, USA
Sinopsis
Theodore Taylor wrote several award-winning books, including The Cay , which won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award and was made into a movie. He began his writing career at the age of thirteen and continued on from there—books, articles, scripts—often several projects at once. He passed away in 2006 surrounded by his family, his books, and years of wonderful memories.
