{"product_id":"pobeda-1946-ilmar-taska-9781909408425","title":"Pobeda 1946: A Car Called Victory","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Tallinn in 1946 a young boy is transfixed by the beauty of a luxurious cream-coloured car gliding down the street. It is a Russian Pobeda, a car called Victory. The sympathetic driver invites the boy for a ride and enquires about his family. Soon the boy's father disappears. Ilmar Taska's debut novel captures the distrust and fear among Estonians living under Soviet occupation after World War II. The reader is transported to a world seen through the eyes of a young boy, where it is difficult to know who is right and who is wrong, be they occupiers or occupied. Resistance fighters, exiles, informants and torturers all find themselves living in Stalin's long shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlmar Taska is best known in his native Estonia as a film director and producer. \u003cem\u003ePobeda 1946: A Car Called Victory\u003c\/em\u003e is his first full novel, and is based on a prize-winning short story from 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilmar Taska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909408425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909408425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Norvik Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Ilmar Taska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978771955967,"sku":"9781909408425","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b04d1cd7-6fe3-4a4e-8406-17e4abf5938e.jpg?v=1683242961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pobeda-1946-ilmar-taska-9781909408425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
