{"product_id":"marai-sandor-embers-9780375707421","title":"Embers","description":"Originally published in 1942 and now rediscovered to international acclaim, this taut and exquisitely structured novel by the Hungarian master Sandor Marai conjures the melancholy glamour of a decaying empire and the disillusioned wisdom of its last heirs. In a secluded woodland castle an old General prepares to receive a rare visitor, a man who was once his closest friend but who he has not seen in forty-one years. Over the ensuing hours host and guest will fight a duel of words and silences, accusations and evasions. They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the General's beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game was taken but during which something was lost forever. Embers is a classic of modern European literature, a work whose poignant evocation of the past also seems like a prophetic glimpse into the moral abyss of the present","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53404253913430,"sku":"9780375707421-V","price":2.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53602164408662,"sku":"9780375707421-G","price":5.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780375707421_1.jpg?v=1778100244","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/marai-sandor-embers-9780375707421","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
