{"product_id":"emperor-of-the-earth-czeslaw-milosz-9780520045033","title":"Emperor of the Earth: Modes of Eccentric Vision","description":"This stimulating collection of essays, mostly concerned with subjects taken from Slavic literatures, is at once scholarly and reflective. The volume opens with a true story, \"Brognart,\" which is a confession of the author's remorse based on conflict with French intellectuals. \"Science Fiction and the Coming of the Antichrist\" concerns Vladimir Solovyov. \"Krasinski's Retreat\" is another return to the author's student readings, which attempts to determine how a Polish romantic poet could write in 1833 a drama on the approaching world revolution. \"Joseph Conrad's Father\" sketches the biography of a poet and revolutionary and also throws some light upon the fate of the hero of the last chapter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Czeslaw Milosz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520045033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520045033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.50w x 0.65d","brand":"Czeslaw Milosz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064994017535,"sku":"9780520045033","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3639f89a-345c-4b69-8ff2-8bfea4a9008c.jpg?v=1768672429","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emperor-of-the-earth-czeslaw-milosz-9780520045033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
