Kosinski, Jerzy N.

Kosinski's autobiographical novel, the harrowing tale of a young boy's macabre journey alone through Nazi-ravaged Eastern Europe.

A young boy, abandoned by his parents during World War II, wanders alone from one village to another in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe.

Comparing world problems to gardening terms, illiterate Chance enters the business and political worlds after his employer's death.

Chauncey "Chance" Gardiner emerges from nowhere to become a much-quoted media darling, but no one can seem to figure out why.
