{"product_id":"lithuanian-short-stories-tadas-klimas-9780981844114","title":"Lithuanian Short Stories","description":"This collection contains, in English translation, eight short stories and two other writings by Lithuanian authors, spanning a time frame of from 1930 to the 1980s. One is set in a medieval, fantastical, Lithuania, others in pre-WWII Lithuania, and one seems to take place in late 20th Century America. 'The Cross' by Jurgis Jankus, set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape, is worth the price in its own right. 'The Idler' by Aloyzas Baronas describes a hero who is zenlike in his dispassion for status and wealth in the midst of war and dislocation. Another tale is of two bestest buddies--a great-great grandmother and a young boy. 'Flax Blossoms' is about a barely restrained sexual attraction in a pastoral setting, and the passion seems to burst through the pages. Two other writings are from the period of Lithuania's rebirth and its path towards re-establishment of independence in the 1990s. Ostensibly opinion pieces, they are poetical and unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tadas Klimas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0981844111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780981844114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transnational Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Tadas Klimas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926975414527,"sku":"9780981844114","price":11.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d4aab98f-7c59-468e-bc4d-d4ad3d0a80c8.jpg?v=1681086084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lithuanian-short-stories-tadas-klimas-9780981844114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
