{"product_id":"my-father-s-notebook-9780060598723b","title":"My Father's Notebook","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen he was a boy, Aga Akbar, the deaf-mute illegitimate son of a Persian nobleman, traveled with his uncle to a cave on nearby Saffron Mountain. Once there, he was to copy a three-thousand-year-old cuneiform inscription - an order of the first king of Persia - as a means of freeing himself from his emotional confinement. For the remainder of his life, Aga Akbar used these cuneiform characters to fill a notebook with writings only he could understand. Years later, his son, Ishmael - a political dissident in exile - is attempting to translate the notebook . . . and in the process tells his father's story, his own, and the story of twentieth-century Iran. A stunning and ambitious novel by a singular literary talent, My Father's Notebook is at once a masterful chronicle of a culture's troubled voyage into modernity and the poignant, timeless tale of a son's enduring love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42826192584784,"sku":"9780060598723B","price":3.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780060598723-l.jpg?v=1785904544","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/my-father-s-notebook-9780060598723b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
