{"product_id":"winter-journey-jaume-cabr-9780974888163","title":"Winter Journey","description":"With this highly original collection of short stories, Catalonian writer Jaume Cabr  takes his place among the masters of the form. In \u003ci\u003eWinter Journey\u003c\/i\u003e, the reader encounters disparate and often desperate characters--pianist, cuckold, whore, organ builder, rabbi, priest, scholar, thief, hitman, madman, Holocaust survivor, oligarch, failed artist--who challenge notions about will, morality, and \"the riddle of existence.\" This is not a selection of individual stories, but a singularly brilliant and enigmatic narrative, novelistic in its approach, with mysterious connections linking characters, objects, and ideas across time and place. The text takes the form of a Schubertian musical progression in prose, a philosophical mystery moving freely through a labyrinth of centuries and cities, historical and contemporary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichly allusive with its themes and motifs of music and art, \u003ci\u003eWinter Journey\u003c\/i\u003e will continue to provoke questions long after the reader has closed the book. This edition represents the first translation of Cabr 's work into English and an invitation to many more readers to come along for the ride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaume Cabré\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0974888168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780974888163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swan Isle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Jaume Cabré","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926919315711,"sku":"9780974888163","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fc7f7bab-e0af-47d2-a2d4-5af1f64895fb.jpg?v=1681085769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winter-journey-jaume-cabr-9780974888163","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
