{"product_id":"don-juan-in-paradise-catulle-mendes-9781612278483","title":"Don Juan in Paradise","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume is one of a set of three collections assembling a substantial fraction of the short fantastic fiction of Catulle Mend s (1841-1909). It assembles more than eighty contes, fables and apologues employing supernatural motifs\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The light-hearted flippancy of the majority of the stories collected here has its own heroic dimension in blithely sacrificing the copious resource of narrative energy to be found in the Devil's works in order to focus much more extensively on the kindly ministrations of angels, Eros and other benign figures. It is a testament of Mend s' ingenuity that the sacrifice in question was not a costly one, permitting him to maintain a level of productivity that few writers of his era could match.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Whimsy might look easy to a reader, but it is not nearly as easy for an author. Few writers have ever been able to draw from that particular well as prolifically and consistently as Catulle Mend s, and there are only a precious few whose work could be assembled into a kaleidoscopic display of phantasmagorical materials as rich as this one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catulle Mendes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612278485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612278483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.92d","brand":"Catulle Mendes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896871215359,"sku":"9781612278483","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/don-juan-in-paradise-catulle-mendes-9781612278483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
