{"product_id":"waltz-francesc-trabal-9781564788771","title":"Waltz","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1936, and considered one of the most groundbreaking and significant novels written in Catalan, \"Waltz\" tells the tale of an idle, introspective, and somewhat oblivious young \"man without qualities\" as he stumbles through a milieu of civic upheaval and bourgeois tragedy, waltzing from one prospective bride to another, never willing to compromise his ideals, and so never quite becoming an adult. With one foot in the romanticism of Goethe or Kleist, and another in the wildly differing takes on the modern novel provided by Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, and Marcel Proust, respectively, \"Waltz\" is an occasionally absurd comedy of indecision and indolence structured in imitation of the dance from which it takes its title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francesc Trabal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564788776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564788771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francesc Trabal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747658715391,"sku":"9781564788771","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab4d452c-2167-44af-8196-ac78873f0f2f.jpg?v=1743584355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waltz-francesc-trabal-9781564788771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
