{"product_id":"the-four-wise-men-michel-tournier-9780801857331","title":"The Four Wise Men","description":"Displaying his characteristic penchant for the macabre, the tender and the comic, Michael Tournier presents the traditional Magi describing their personal odysseys to Bethlehem--and audaciously imagines a fourth, \"the eternal latecomer\"' whose story of hardship and redemption is the most moving and instructive of all. Prince of Mangalore and son of an Indian maharajah, Taor has tasted an exquisite confection, rachat loukoum, and is so taken by the flavor that he sets out to recover the recipe. His quest takes him across Western Asia and finally lands him in Sodom, where he is imprisoned in a salt mine. There, this fourth wise man learns the recipe from a fellow prisoner, and learns of the existence and meaning of Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Tournier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801857333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801857331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.93h x 5.49w x 0.59d","brand":"Michel Tournier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120235081983,"sku":"9780801857331","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52ebe20a-7509-4fd3-9e12-10aee61f5cb0.jpg?v=1687413225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-four-wise-men-michel-tournier-9780801857331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
