{"product_id":"ivory-apes-and-peacocks-james-huneker-9781515032694","title":"Ivory Apes and Peacocks","description":"In these piping days when fiction plays the handmaid or prophet to various propaganda; when the majority of writers are trying to prove something, or acting as venders of some new-fangled social nostrums; when the insistent drums of the Great God Reclame are bruising human tympani, the figure of Joseph Conrad stands solitary among English novelists as the very ideal of a pure and disinterested artist. Amid the clamour of the market-place a book of his is a sea-shell which pressed to the ear echoes the far-away murmur of the sea; always the sea, either as rigid as a mirror under hard, blue skies or shuddering symphonically up some exotic beach. Conrad is a painter doubled by a psychologist; he is the psychologist of the sea-and that is his chief claim to originality, his Peak of Darien.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Huneker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515032698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515032694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.42d","brand":"James Huneker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068289249535,"sku":"9781515032694","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8f608e9-5e3e-4b14-8546-19c2b81dabb3.jpg?v=1685418138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ivory-apes-and-peacocks-james-huneker-9781515032694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
