(\"My father's daily work was to be a father. It was excruciating.\") Samuel escapes Missouri to attend Harvard, where he gets himself expelled for exploding a footbridge over the Charles River. He is soon sent to fight in Korea and lands in a prison camp. Samuel's picaresque coming of age - by turns both funny and poignant - is truly the tale of \"a child of the century.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: in USA in 1972\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 377\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 13: N\/A\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 10: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Rogers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32783216345191,"sku":null,"price":6.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-confession-of-a-child-of-the-century","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
