《The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas》是愛爾蘭作家約翰·伯恩於2008年通過Definitions出版社出版的虛構文學作品。小說以二戰時期納粹集中營為背景，後改編為同名電影。
故事通過九歲德國男孩布魯諾的視角展開，其身為納粹軍官的父親調任至集中營附近後，他與鐵絲網另一側的猶太男孩什穆埃爾建立了跨越種族隔閡的友誼。兩人以孩童的天真互動揭示戰爭暴行的本質，最終悲劇性結局形成對集體盲從與種族主義的尖銳批判。小說採用雙重視角與象徵手法，借條紋睡衣、鐵絲網等意象探討極端環境下的人性邊界。

內容簡介
Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us ...Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas. Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.
