{"product_id":"the-crazy-corner-jean-richepin-9781612271422","title":"The Crazy Corner","description":"Mad scientists, parrots from Atlantis, witches, madmen, monsters, korrigans, demons, magical paintings and a water sprite trapped in a mirror are but a few of the amazing characters featured in this collection of 45 stories from the 1890s and early 1900s, aptly entitled The Crazy Corner, which maps out the frontier between madness and nightmare. Of all the late 19th century writers of contes cruels, Jean Richepin (1849-1926) was the cruelest when it came to the treatment of his characters, not so much in the nasty fates to which they were often delivered -- which are typical of the entire genre -- but in the merciless way in which he describes and characterizes them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Richepin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612271421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612271422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Jean Richepin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057066242303,"sku":"9781612271422","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31ba89e6-9e84-47f3-ae21-ec5c75cd7145.jpg?v=1685044834","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crazy-corner-jean-richepin-9781612271422","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
