Civilisation is coming to an end. The death of his only relative gives a feral boy the pretext to journey beyond the confines of his home environment; only by doing this will he be able to decipher his father's journal, the most valuable artefact in his legacy. This singular contribution to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre tells of a humanity in crisis, while at the same time conveying the adventurous spirit of adolescence. 　　译文(2): 文明即将终结。他唯一的亲人的死亡给了一个野孩子一个借口，让他走出自己的家园; 只有这样，他才能破译他父亲的日记，他遗产中最有价值的人工制品。这种对后启示录科幻小说体裁的独特贡献，在传达青春期冒险精神的同时，讲述了一个处于危机中的人类。
