{"product_id":"tremors-and-transformations-michael-ranis-9781951772673","title":"Tremors and Transformations: A Collection of Short Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaybe it is the fact that I witnessed one of the major revolutions\u003c\/strong\u003e that highlight a turmoil-full Bolivian history, maybe it is my education, I am sensitive to political turmoil. My political seismograph is acute. This explains my despondency over recent developments in the country that was once perceived as the north star for democracy. This book refers to this and other political \u003cstrong\u003etremors\u003c\/strong\u003e as the setting within which heroes and heroines need to live their lives. Their stories, their \u003cstrong\u003etransformations\u003c\/strong\u003e could inspire or intrigue the reader. I have always been impressed with personal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains stories of individuals from disparate places and upbringings, different economic conditions, and diverse educational backgrounds. They all try to sort out the conditions that challenge them and seek to rise to the occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reader will also find two stories written with a healthy dose of sarcasm--one about a country that is lifted from horrible misery, only to crash soon thereafter. The other about a tiny dog whose life is terribly affected by a misguided owner, and a selfish girlfriend. One can also find a short story with a touch of dark humor- hopefully, it will bring a smile. Finally, we find a collection of men complaining about their amorous misfortunes. I can imagine the reactions will split along the gender divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Ranis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951772679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951772673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Michael Ranis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800695288063,"sku":"9781951772673","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tremors-and-transformations-michael-ranis-9781951772673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
