{"product_id":"lanxang-and-its-last-lao-xanouvong-9781911397403","title":"Lanxang and Its Last Lao King","description":"The Lao and the Siamese are descendants of the same Ai-Lao race, but they have different characters and destinies, and they established their own kingdoms. \u003cbr\u003eThe invasion of ViengChan by Siam in 1779 left Lao LanXang in danger of total collapse. The twelve-year-old prince Chao Anouvong, the feudal ruling class, the court nobility and many of the people were forcefully taken to Siam, resulting in the total political extinction of a society that had governed LanXang for over 1,000 years. \u003cbr\u003eChao Anouvong grew up in Bangkok and was regarded by the Siamese as a mere provincial ruler. He returned to ViengChan at the age of twenty-eight and became king, with nothing to support him but his own talents and his ambition to restore LanXang.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xanouvong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911397400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911397403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unicorn Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.37h x 6.06w x 2.20d","brand":"Xanouvong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201852895487,"sku":"9781911397403","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f6b7f75-b8ea-4a17-9e3f-73122d77f167.jpg?v=1691491803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lanxang-and-its-last-lao-xanouvong-9781911397403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
