{"product_id":"a-novel-of-london-milos-crnjanski-9781944884666","title":"A Novel of London","description":"Fiction. Translated by Will Firth. A NOVEL OF LONDON is a classic of European modernism that established Serbian writer Milos Crnjanski as one of the great eastern European voices of the 20th century. The over-600-page translation will be the first English edition. Published in Belgrade in 1971 as Roman o Londonu, the novel follows an aging Russian  migr , Nikolai Repnin, as he attempts to make a life in the British capital in the 1940s, painting a stark portrait of the war-battered city through the eyes of a person living in a constant state of rejection and alienation. Born a Russian noble in pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg, Repnin is now reduced to eking out a living from odd jobs in the huge city, whose buildings, monuments, citizens and customs he portrays with fascination. As Repnin wanders the streets and the bureaucracy of the bombed-out city, reminiscing about his opulent past in Russia and subsequent odyssey through Europe's cities after the Revolution, he encounters a host of  migr s from around the world, whose stories also unfold. A pan-European portrait of class structures and the real effects of the war emerges, a vision whose depth and scope may be unmatched in 20th century literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Milos Crnjanski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1944884661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944884666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dialogos \/ Lavender Ink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.47d","brand":"Milos Crnjanski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987519111423,"sku":"9781944884666","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07511342-0ed6-4567-83c5-1a459959e7c7.jpg?v=1683289468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-novel-of-london-milos-crnjanski-9781944884666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
