A Child Called It BSY390

US$13.95

This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games--games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it."

Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living nightmare. He had nothing or no one to turn to, but his dreams kept him alive--dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.  

     我自由了。
     我叫大卫。我的童年,挨饿、被火烧、喝氨水、吸毒气……这样对待我的却是我的亲生母亲。
     “在拥有这些经历之后”,我“完全有理由成为一个恶棍”。的确,我曾故意偷窃,多次进入少年管教厅,但对爱与接受的找寻,让我从迷失中清醒。
     我相信,总有一天,我会掌握自己的命运,结束黑暗的日子。

     大卫·佩尔泽,世界十大杰出青年。童年时代曾遭到母亲残酷虐待,是20世纪美国加州历史上最严重的三起虐待儿童案中唯一存活下来的人。于美国空军服役期间开始参与少年救援计划,不遗余力地投入其中,并受到里根、布什、克林顿、小布什总统高度赞扬。自传体小说《一个被称作“它”的孩子》,为千万读者带去无限力量与希望,长踞《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜达13年之久,在英、法、德、日、韩等国受到热烈欢迎。
