{"product_id":"garlic-ballads","title":"Garlic Ballads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe peasants of Paradise County in China have been eking out an existence virtually unchanged for hundreds of years, until a glut on the garlic market forces them to watch the crop that is their lifeblood wilt, rot and blacken in the fields - leading them to storm the seat of corrupt Communist officialdom in an apocalyptic riot. Against this heroic backdrop unfold three intricately interwoven tales of love, loyalty and retribution: between man and woman, father and child, friend and friend. Banned in China following Tianamen Square, 'The Garlic Ballads' is a bawdy, mystical and brawling novel that portrays a landscape at once strange and utterly compelling, and a people whose fierce passions overflow the rigid confines of their traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 129 x 197\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Yan Mo\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780413775313\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45262381940889,"sku":"16RB-1-9780413775313","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/67e7ebe8647af_Garlic_20Ballads_20Yan_20Mo.jpg?v=1743436118","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/garlic-ballads","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
