{"product_id":"the-violinist-calmo-rose-9780615149844","title":"The Violinist","description":"THE VIOLINIST counterpoises the universe of childhood on a background of the Jewish Holocaust in Romania. It tells the story of Calmo (Lica), whose family is banned from Bucharest due to their Jewishness, as he bears witness to a world that has lost its humanity during the Second World War. In it he falls in love with a pianist, a Jewish girl named Luta; he also recounts how his own artistry playing the violin charms both enemies and friends, Romanians, Germans, and Jews. Lica's violin is today transformed into the author's pen, remastering these early experiences with maturity, yet somehow maintaining a tragic innocence. With its cinematographic narrative that blends humor with tragedy and love with music, THE VIOLINIST easily reminds one of Roberto Benigni's LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL and Roman Polanski's THE PIANIST.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calmo Rose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615149847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615149844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duende Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Calmo Rose","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441122750719,"sku":"9780615149844","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_619112c6-be0c-41c5-8ebb-96bd8e1f6ba1.jpg?v=1777188841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-violinist-calmo-rose-9780615149844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
