F licien Champsaur, having decided to write a Robinsonade, aware that he was following in a great tradition, wanted to make it a Robinsonade that would go further than any other: a kind of ultimate Robinsonade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His principal interest is not in the basic requirements for physical survival, but in the subtler demands of mental survival: hypothetical solutions to the problem of psychological isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Alluring is worthy of attention, not only because of the imaginative extravagance of the story, which displays an exuberant and sometimes blackly comic playfulness typical of Champsaur's work, but also because of its idiosyncratic nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Felicien Champsaur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612279090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612279091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Felicien Champsaur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068842471679,"sku":"9781612279091","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_253dd4a9-39bf-42d1-80d6-8a3f36340a33.jpg?v=1685421311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-alluring-felicien-champsaur-9781612279091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
