{"product_id":"under-the-shadow-of-etna-nathan-dole-9781533129949","title":"Under the Shadow of Etna: Sicilian Stories from the Italian of Giovanni Verga","description":"The stories collected in Under the Shadow of Etna are drawn from the Sicily of Giovanni Verga's childhood, reported at the time to be the poorest place in Europe. Verga's style is swift, sure, and implacable; he plunges into his stories almost in midbreath, and tells them with a stark economy of words. There's something dark and tightly coiled at the heart of each story, an ironic, bitter resolution that is belied by the deceptive simplicity of Verga's prose, and Verga strikes just when the reader's not expecting it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan Dole, Giovanni Verga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1533129940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781533129949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.19d","brand":"Nathan Dole","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936858145023,"sku":"9781533129949","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_15814e46-38ea-44e0-8b89-adbfdac1cdf4.jpg?v=1681427082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-shadow-of-etna-nathan-dole-9781533129949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
