Das fünfte Kind es una novela de Doris Lessing que explora la disrupción que un niño con características inusuales causa en la vida familiar. Harriet y David Lovatt crean un hogar idílico y tienen cuatro hijos encantadores. Sin embargo, la llegada de su quinto hijo, Ben, transforma su vida en una pesadilla. Ben es un bebé extraño y demandante que crece rápidamente y muestra un comportamiento agresivo y perturbador. A medida que Ben crece, se vuelve más violento y antisocial, lo que lleva a la familia al borde del colapso. La novela examina temas de alienación, miedo a lo desconocido y los límites del amor y la aceptación familiar.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007. Lessing was born to British parents in Qajar Iran, where she lived until she was 6 in 1925. Her family then moved to Southern Rhodesia, where she remained until moving to London, England, in 1949. Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–1969), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
