{"product_id":"9781642861013","title":"Planet of Clay","description":"\u003cp\u003eRima, a young girl from Damascus, longs to walk, to be free to follow the will of her feet, but instead is perpetually constrained. Rima finds refuge in a fantasy world full of coloured crayons, secret planets, and The Little Prince, reciting passages of the Qur'an like a mantra as everything and everyone around her is blown to bits. Since Rima hardly ever speaks, people think she's crazy, but she is no fool - the madness is in the battered city around her. One day while taking a bus through Damascus, a soldier opens fire and her mother is killed. Rima, wounded, is taken to a military hospital before her brother leads her to the besieged area of Ghouta -where, between bombings, she writes her story. In Planet of Clay, Samar Yazbek offers a surreal depiction of the horrors taking place in Syria, in vivid and poetic language and with a sharp eye for detail and beauty. 'Brave, rebellious and passionate ... Yazbek is no ordinary Syrian dissident.' - Financial Times 'The Syrian writer Samar Yazbek evokes the horror of civil war with gripping lucidity.' -Le Monde\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53030384042293,"sku":"EB_LI0714_00000_DUBAI","price":77.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ja\/products\/9781642861013","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
