Partly shot on the streets of present-day Budapest, under a regime criticised for its anti-immigrant policies and harsh treatment of refugees, \u003cem\u003eThe Donkey Field\u003c\/em\u003e underlines the relevance of the boy’s story to other, more recent stories of displacement and persecution. The black and white book uses the format of a photo novella and loosely references a 1952 book by Jacques Prevert that also features a donkey.  [publishers’ note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Everyday Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358127661396,"sku":"A8B-35273","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/dobai.jpg?v=1790814147","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/the-donkey-field","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
