{"product_id":"alan-spence-the-pure-land-9781841959597","title":"The Pure Land","description":"The year is 1858. Thomas Glover is a gutsy eighteen-year-old who grasps the chance of escape to foreign lands and takes a posting as a trader in Japan. Within ten years he amasses a great fortune, learns the ways of the samurai, and, on the other side of the law, brings about the overthrow of the Shogun. Yet beneath Glover's astonishing success lies a man cut to the heart. His love affair with a courtesan - a woman who, unknown to him, would bear him the son for which he had always longed - would form a tragedy so dramatic as to be immortalised in the stories behind Madame Butterfly and Miss Saigon. The Pure Land relives in fiction the arc of Glover's true-life rise and fall, and forges a hundred-year saga that culminates in the annihilation of Nagasaki in 1945.","brand":"Canongate Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53375990235478,"sku":"9781841959597-G","price":3.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - like new","offer_id":53496501502294,"sku":"9781841959597-N","price":4.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53605962514774,"sku":"9781841959597-V","price":4.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/alan-spence-the-pure-land-9781841959597","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
