{"product_id":"recounting-luis-goytisolo-9781628971729","title":"Recounting: Antagony, Book I","description":"\u003ci\u003eRecounting\u003c\/i\u003e surveys the social history of Barcelona and Catalonia, primarily since the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The novel follows the youth and education of Ra l Ferrer Gaminde, son of a well-connected, middle-class Catalan family that embraces Franco and Spanish Nationalism. The novel's potent drama plays out through Goytisolo's crisp, forceful presentation of youth, humor, optimism, rebellion, violence, sexual awakening, indulgence, punishment, and the realization of one's artistic vocation. Alternately modern and historical, Recuento displays intelligent realism, emotional gravity, profane beauty, brute vulgarity, sweeping rhetorical scope, and seamless transitions through long, streaming passages of narrative and introspection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis Goytisolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162897172X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628971729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017","brand":"Luis Goytisolo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991746904319,"sku":"9781628971729","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c42a0ed7-658c-49a5-bb68-e046a5cf8b10.jpg?v=1683311994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recounting-luis-goytisolo-9781628971729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
