{"product_id":"9781910213827-a-the-adventures-of-the-ingenious-alfanhui","title":"A The Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first English translation of The Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui, a picaresque novel in which the hero, a magical little boy, goes in search not of his fortune but of knowledge, growing both wiser and possibly sadder in the process.  These are the adventures of a magical little boy which will appeal to both children and adults.  AUTHOR: Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio, the son of a Spanish father and an Italian mother, was born in Rome in 1927. He is one of Spain's most celebrated novelists, and yet his reputation is based largely on two novels: his first book, The Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui, (1951) and The Jarama (1956), which won the Spanish National Critics' Prize. One is a children's fantasy for adults, the other a minute dissection of one tiny chunk of reality.Since their publication, both have acquired the status of classics in Spain: they have both been reprinted dozens of times and sparked a vast amount of literary criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49281393000667,"sku":"9781910213827","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b0dc6020-9e55-4e35-a84e-4d54aa57793a.jpg?v=1789125556","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781910213827-a-the-adventures-of-the-ingenious-alfanhui","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
