{"product_id":"capital-city-9780803260313","title":"Capital City","description":"First published in the dark days immediately before World War II, \u003ci\u003eCapital City\u003c\/i\u003e is Mari Sandoz's angriest and most political novel. Like many important American novels of the 1930s--John Steinbeck's \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e, Jack Conroy's \u003ci\u003eThe Disinherited\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Cantwell's \u003ci\u003eLand of\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePlenty--Capital City\u003c\/i\u003e depicts the troubles of working people trapped in the Great Depression. A unique portrayal of how the Depression affected the Great Plains, it examines the forces that bitterly contended for wealth and power. Sandoz researched the daily life and behind-the-scenes operations of several state capitals in the thirties before synthesizing them in this novel, which is part allegory, part indictment, part warning. Famous for her passionate writing, Sandoz imbued \u003ci\u003eCapital City\u003c\/i\u003e with the full measure of her outrage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803260313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.34w x 0.74d","brand":"Mari Sandoz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643663413404,"sku":"9780803260313","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_702c733f-20da-4765-b1ac-7cb95e26f603.jpg?v=1603857042","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/capital-city-9780803260313","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
