The accidental death of two young, happy people, the parents of the girl Garda, will become fateful the day Garda comes of age.
The very title of the novel tells us how Kozarac was preoccupied with the uncultivated, dead land that is waiting for a man, a hardworking peasant, who will cultivate it. He called it "dead capital".
The novel is based on the writer's experiences in Shanghai during World War II and in the Civilian Collection Center in Lunghua, where he was interned from 1942 to 1945. Steven Spielberg made a film of the same name based on the script by Tom Stoppard.
