{"product_id":"the-island-armin-greder-9781741752663","title":"The Island","description":"Poignant and chilling, this allegory is an astonishing, powerful, and timely story about refugees, xenophobia, racism, multiculturalism, social politics, and human rights. When the people of an island find a man sitting on their shore, they immediately reject him because he is different. Fearful to the point of delusional paranoia, the islanders lock him in a goat pen, refuse him work, and feed him scraps they would normally feed a pig. As their fears progress into hatred, they force him into the sea. The charcoal illustrations complement the sparse and beautifully understated narrative. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Armin Greder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1741752663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781741752663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.40h x 8.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Armin Greder","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991833706751,"sku":"9781741752663","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a42aaa9b-d5c6-48dc-8827-3a9de9d3a4ac.jpg?v=1683312498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-island-armin-greder-9781741752663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
