He's pursued by dangerous forces. What lies before him is an infinite, arid plain, one he must cross in order to escape those from whom he's fleeing. One night on the road, he meets an old goatherd, a man who lives simply but righteously, and from that moment on, their paths intertwine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eOut in the Open\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of this journey through a drought-stricken country ruled by violence. A world where names and dates don't matter, where morals have drained away with the water. In this landscape the boy--not yet a lost cause--has the chance to choose hope and bravery, or to live forever mired in the cycle of violence in which he was raised. Carrasco has masterfully created a high stakes world, a dystopian tale of life and death, right and wrong, terror and salvation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJes俍 Carrasco\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Badajoz, Spain, and now lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. \u003ci\u003eOut in the Open\u003c\/i\u003e, his debut novel, was a huge bestseller in Spain, published in more than twenty-one countries, and is the winner of many international awards, including the European Union Prize for Literature 2016 and an English PEN award. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eMargaret Jull Costa\u003c\/b\u003e has been translating Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American fiction for more than twenty years, including authors like Javier Mar僘s.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42691602284607,"sku":"9781594634376","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/218849841d29aa12cf22b4f64b8822fd.webp?v=1764992621","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/out-in-the-open-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
