{"product_id":"the-pentecost-of-calamity-owen-wister-9789371810807","title":"The Pentecost Of Calamity","description":"The pentecost of calamity blends personal narrative with sharp commentary to explore Europe during world war I, focusing on the moral and societal consequences of the conflict. The work examines themes of nationalism, cultural identity, and the human condition amid widespread destruction and chaos. Wister contrasts his vivid memories of pre-war Germany s beauty and order with the harsh realities brought by militarism and war. Through a mixture of personal anecdotes and historical reflection, he delves into the tension between Germany s peaceful past and its involvement in aggressive war efforts. The narrative grapples with the complexity of human nature, caught between civilization and violence, and urges a broader understanding that goes beyond nationalistic divisions. Ultimately, the book serves as a profound meditation on the tragic impact of war and a call for empathy, urging readers to reflect on the fragility of peace and the need for reconciliation across cultures during turbulent times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owen Wister\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9371810807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789371810807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Double 9 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.10d","brand":"Owen Wister","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49148410822911,"sku":"9789371810807","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pentecost-of-calamity-owen-wister-9789371810807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
