Language: Eng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis miracle of autobiography and prison literature begins: \"Friday, in the evening, the landlady shouted up the stairs: 'Oh God, oh Jesus, oh Sacred Heart, Boy, there's two gentlemen here to see you.' I knew by the screeches of her that the gentlemen were not calling to inquire after my health . . . I grabbed my suitcase, containing Pot. Chlor., Sulph Ac, gelignite, detonators, electrical and ignition, and the rest of my Sinn Fein conjurer's outfit, and carried it to the window . . .\" The men were, of course, the police, and seventeen-year-old Behan. He spent three years as a prisoner in England, primarily in Borstal (reform school), and was then expelled to his homeland, a changed but hardly defeated rebel. Once banned in the Irish Republic, Borstal Boy is both a riveting self-portrait and a clear look into the problems, passions, and heartbreak of Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brendan Behan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53099113480416,"sku":"9780552990547","price":209.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/81rWvtiZpCL._SY522.jpg?v=1781701698","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/borstal-boy","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
