Specificatii
The Years of Zero-Coming of Age Under the Khmer Rouge is a
survivor's account of the Cambodian genocide carried out by Pol
Pot's sadistic and terrifying Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s.
It follows the author, Seng Ty, from the age of seven as he is
plucked from his comfortable, middle-class home in a Phnom Penh
suburb, marched along a blistering, black strip of highway into the
jungle, and thrust headlong into the unspeakable barbarities of an
agricultural labor camp. Seng's mother was worked to death while
his siblings succumbed to starvation. His oldest brother was
brought back from France and tortured in the secret prison of Tuol
Sleng. His family's only survivor and a mere child, Seng was forced
to fend for himself, navigating the brainwashing campaigns and
random depravities of the Khmer Rouge, determined to survive so he
could bear witness to what happened in the camp. The Years of Zero
guides the reader through the author's long, desperate periods of
harrowing darkness, each chapter a painting of cruelty, caprice,
and courage. It follows Seng as he sneaks mice and other living
food from the rice paddies where he labors, knowing that the
penalty for such defiance is death. It tracks him as he tries to
escape into the jungle, only to be dragged back to his camp and
severely beaten. Through it all, Seng finds a way to remain whole
both in body and in mind. He rallies past torture, betrayal,
disease and despair, refusing at every juncture to surrender to the
murderers who have stolen everything he had. As The Years of Zero
concludes, the reader will have lived what Seng lived, risked what
he risked, endured what he endured, and finally celebrate with him
his unlikeliest of triumphs.
