{"product_id":"mister-johnson","title":"Mister Johnson","description":"\u003cp\u003eA temporary clerk, still on probation, Mr Johnson has been in Fada, Nigeria, for six months and is already much in debt. Undaunted, he entertains on the grandest scale, with drums and smuggled gin. Not only that, he intends to pay a small fortune for his wife ...  First published in 1939, Mister Johnson marked the end of Joyce Cary's series of Nigerian-based novels, derived from his own days in the Nigerian Colonial Service (1913-1919). William Boyd has described the novel as, 'A wonderfully evocative portrait of a bygone colonial life ... Mr Johnson, in short, is a great literary creation; he can safely take his place beside any of the enduring characters world literature has presented us with: from Falstaff to Zeno, from Candide to Humbert Humbert.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Genre Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Modern Classics \/ Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140017267\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Modern Classics \/ Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.28","offer_id":47909125488817,"sku":"SB-0140017267-C4","price":1.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £2.02","offer_id":48135635304625,"sku":"SB-0140017267-C3","price":2.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0140017267.jpg?v=1789184591","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/mister-johnson","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
