{"product_id":"stirring-stories-charles-barbara-9781645250869","title":"Stirring Stories","description":"Charles Barbara (1817-1866), though principally remembered today for being \"a friend of Baudelaire,\" was, arguably, one of the more influential writers of his time, being one of the earliest authors of science fiction, Naturalism, and the \u003cem\u003eroman policier\u003c\/em\u003e. The present volume, originally published as \u003cem\u003eHistoires 駑ouvantes\u003c\/em\u003e in 1856, and here offered in English for the first time in a translation by Brian Stableford, brings together nine of the author's highly innovative tales. Marked by their unusual narrative points, the work presented here, both strange and subtle, is that of a fine writer, as heroic in his ambitions as he was in his tribulations, and he left behind some first-rate works, including that assembled in this major collections.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Barbara, Brian Stableford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645250865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645250869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snuggly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Charles Barbara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996112912639,"sku":"9781645250869","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26314506-b4ce-409a-9347-3ad97bcc887f.jpg?v=1683339786","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stirring-stories-charles-barbara-9781645250869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
