{"product_id":"the-american-franklin-ross-9781515112365","title":"The American","description":"The American is a novel by Henry James, originally published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1876-1877 and then as a book in 1877. The novel is an uneasy combination of social comedy and melodrama concerning the adventures and misadventures of Christopher Newman, an essentially good-hearted but rather gauche American businessman on his first tour of Europe. Newman is looking for a world different from the simple, harsh realities of 19th-century American business. He encounters both the beauty and the ugliness of Europe, and learns not to take either for granted. The core of the novel concerns Newman's courtship of a young widow from an aristocratic Parisian family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franklin Ross, Henry James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515112365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515112365\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\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.35d","brand":"Franklin Ross","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131796779263,"sku":"9781515112365","price":6.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4237675f-fecb-4b3c-9fd6-4f447f4fbfba.jpg?v=1687476453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-american-franklin-ross-9781515112365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
