{"product_id":"9781776191260","title":"The Boy Who Never Gave Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1994, sixteen-year-old Emmanuel Taban walked out of war-torn Sudan with nothing, and nowhere to go. In the preceding months, he was abducted and then tortured by government forces, who falsely accused him of spying for the South Sudanese rebels.\u003cbr\u003eHe managed to flee, hoping to be reunited with his family, but ended up going on a long and arduous journey through many African countries to South Africa. For many months Taban lived mostly on the street and faced many dangers, but he refused to give up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe arrived in South Africa penniless, and with only five years of schooling. Determined to get a proper education, Taban first completed school and then his medical studies. After specialising as a pulmonologist in 2018, he recently made a ground-breaking discovery around the treatment of hypoxemic COVID-19 patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaban overcame extreme poverty, racism and xenophobia to become the man he is today. Heartwarming and inspiring, his life story is one of survival against all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Emmanuel+Taban\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eEmmanuel Taban\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Andrew+Crofts\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eAndrew Crofts\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emmanuel Taban,Andrew Crofts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378823151779,"sku":"9781776191260","price":265.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776191260_223fe3a0-1232-4e47-ac46-b8a768cf8009.jpg?v=1776580923","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781776191260","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
