{"product_id":"waves-eduard-von-keyserling-9781910213940","title":"Waves","description":"First published on the eve of the First World War, Keyserling's masterpiece offers a vivid portrait of a society on the verge of dissolution. A group of German aristocrats gathers at a seaside village on the Baltic Sea for a summer holiday in the early years of the twentieth century. The characters represent a cross-section of the upper classes of imperial Germany: a philandering baron, his jealous wife, a gallant cavalry officer, the elderly widow of a general, a cynical government official, a lady's companion. Their lives, even on holiday, are regulated by rigid protocol and archaic codes of honour. \u003cbr\u003eBut their quiet, disciplined world is thrown into disarray by the unexpected presence of Doralice, a young countess who has rebelled against social constraints by escaping from an arranged marriage and running away with a bourgeois artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eduard Von Keyserling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910213942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910213940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Eduard Von Keyserling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075137302783,"sku":"9781910213940","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e47bc9b4-5d36-414a-a88e-aa78e8aa1921.jpg?v=1685457813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waves-eduard-von-keyserling-9781910213940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
