{"product_id":"cassandra-christa-wolf-9780374519049","title":"Cassandra: A Novel and Four Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, the distinguished East German writer Christa Wolf retells the story of the fall of Troy, but from the point of view of the woman whose visionary powers earned her contempt and scorn. Written as a result of the author's Greek travels and studies, \u003ci\u003eCassandra\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to us in a pressing monologue whose inner focal points are patriarchy and war. In the four accompanying pieces, which take the form of travel reports, journal entries, and a letter, Wolf describes the novel's genesis. Incisive and intelligent, the entire volume represents an urgent call to examine the past in order to insure a future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christa Wolf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374519048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374519049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Christa Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051804815615,"sku":"9780374519049","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f99b7e5-6cd2-43df-b1fe-e5b891178e16.jpg?v=1685015268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cassandra-christa-wolf-9780374519049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
