Forty-two years old, trapped inside his  luxurious Paris town house, he was an outcast for the first time in his  life. Abdel, an unemployed Algerian immigrant who had been an outcast  for his entire existence, would become Phillipe's unlikely caretaker.  Quick-thinking, unsentimental, and more than a little wild, Abdel  surprises both himself and his employer by developing an unswerving  loyalty - and orchestrating more than a few adventures - that help  restore Phillipe's appetite for life. The story of Abdel's friendship with Phillipe has already touched the  hearts of millions. Now his personal story of transformation from a kid  who cares for no one to the person he is today will affect many more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oasis Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114168107248,"sku":"2940169230390","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169230390_p0.jpg?v=1763675827","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169230390","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
