{"product_id":"calabria-karen-haid-9781634132305","title":"Calabria: The Other Italy","description":"Once the hub of the Mediterranean, Calabria now dangles, largely ignored, at the bottom of the Italian boot, struggling for survival, acceptance and a place in modern Italy and the world. Little-known even to Italians outside the nefarious activities of its \u003ci\u003e'Ndrangheta\u003c\/i\u003e mafia organization, Calabria allures with its simplicity and rewards with an underlying complexity, as in savoring an artisanal cheese, appreciating an ancient Greek masterwork or interpreting a particularly expressive phrase in the local dialect. \u003ci\u003eCalabria: The Other Italy\u003c\/i\u003e paints a compelling picture of contemporary Calabria and Southern Italy, weaving observation, personal anecdote, salient historical information and social commentary into a nonfiction narrative that combines travelogue with an exploration of everyday life and culture. At times humorous, at others poignant, this engaging work portrays the joys and challenges of the \"other Italy.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Haid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1634132300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781634132305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mill City Press, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2015","brand":"Karen Haid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043958911231,"sku":"9781634132305","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acfac0d3-f107-465b-af24-b4e1d6e26891.jpg?v=1684970101","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calabria-karen-haid-9781634132305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
