{"product_id":"the-peasants-bible-and-the-dario-fo-9780802140692","title":"The Peasants' Bible and the Story of the Tiger","description":"Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Dario Fo is one of the world's most important contemporary playwrights, forging subversive wit and unusual linguistic experimentation into a comedy of complete originality.\u003cbr\u003eThe Peasants' Bible is a collection of five monologues drawn from Italian folklore but filtered through Fo's delightfully singular lens-for example, an Adam and Eve who are passionately entwined like peas in a pod; a race between two classes of men struggling for power that resembles the legend of the Hare and the Tortoise-to form a Bible of the common man.\u003cbr\u003eIn The Story of the Tiger, we find a Fourth Army soldier injured fighting Chiang Kai-shek's army, saved from starvation by being suckled by an enormous tiger, who then comes back to defeat Kai-shek by using model tigers in combat. Together the pieces are an extraordinary addition to Fo's body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dario Fo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802140696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802140692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.56w x 0.50d","brand":"Dario Fo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947187044607,"sku":"9780802140692","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dcde1205-be60-4a75-a819-e74378d8052c.jpg?v=1681517237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-peasants-bible-and-the-dario-fo-9780802140692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
