{"product_id":"the-altar-of-the-dead-henry-james-9781724540300","title":"The Altar of the Dead","description":"\"The Altar of the Dead\" is a short story by Henry James. A fable of literally life and death significance, the story explores how the protagonist tries to keep the remembrance of his dead friends, to save them from being forgotten entirely in the rush of everyday events. He meets a woman who shares his ideals, only to find that the past places what seems to be an impassable barrier between them. Although James was not religious in any conventional sense, the story shows a deep spirituality in its treatment of mortality and the transcendent power of unselfish love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1724540300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781724540300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Henry James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47136503202047,"sku":"9781724540300","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c83db0f0-c7e0-49fe-96d8-0e359055767c.jpg?v=1755023542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-altar-of-the-dead-henry-james-9781724540300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
