{"product_id":"the-book-zoran-zivkovic-9784908793073","title":"The Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Book is not quite a novel, although almost half of it takes the form of a narrative, neither is it an essay, although quite a lot of what is said in it adopts that style. It is actually closest to that rare type or \"para-genre\" of satirical prose embodied in the exemplary \u003cem\u003eIn Praise of Folly\u003c\/em\u003e by the famous humanist from Rotterdam. Instead of the \"Folly,\" of human manias and absurdities, here, in a similar kind of double-talk, the books themselves \"speak,\" those monuments to our intelligence, ambitions and self-importance, and they primarily \"speak\" by making an analogy between man's fate and that of books--to man's detriment, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zoran Zivkovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 4908793077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9784908793073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zoran Zivkovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Zoran Zivkovic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217647677695,"sku":"9784908793073","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5de4f4a4-0ea6-454d-bad8-7425c2da37e8.jpg?v=1771998538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-zoran-zivkovic-9784908793073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
