{"product_id":"chronicle-in-stone","title":"Chronicle in Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of a young Albanian and a primitive Albania awakening into the modern world. \"Where are we going, where are they taking us?\" The Second World War is about to start, but life for a young boy in a small town in Albania is still a game. Yet, as the country falls to the Italians, then the Greeks, then eventually to the Nazis, and is mercilessly bombed by the British, the boy grows up.In a seamless mosaic of dreams and games, Kadare's young narrator both reflects and distorts events as his ancient, magical home town - and his own innocence and sense of wonder - are lost forever in the madness and brutality of the Second World War. A disturbing mix of tragedy, comedy, politics and sexuality, Chronicle in Stone is a fascinating early masterpiece from the winner of the inaugural Man Booker International Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ismail Kadare","offers":[{"title":"Very good","offer_id":49191272644798,"sku":"9781921351280V","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fair","offer_id":49191272677566,"sku":"9781921351280F","price":12.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well read","offer_id":49191272710334,"sku":"9781921351280W","price":11.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/2283\/4851\/files\/chronicle.jpg?v=1790740725","url":"https:\/\/www.babelbooks.com.au\/products\/chronicle-in-stone","provider":"BabelBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
