{"product_id":"savage-9781564785350","title":"Savage","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on the life of Post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin, Jacques Jouet's \"Savage\" compels the reader to ask whether it is the primitive or the civilized man who is savage. At the height of the Belle ?poque, an eccentric young clothing designer searches for inspiration and identity as an artist among the \"savage\" peoples of France's colonies. Influenced by several exotic lovers, a quirky \"vieille\" dame, and ?douard Manet himself, Paul's increasingly unconventional designs parallel his increasingly unbalanced state of mind as he struggles to find a market for his work among the haute bourgeoisie. The failure of this venture, coupled with psychosis due to an untreated illness, ultimately leads to his demise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564785350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2009 pg. 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2009 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacques Jouet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39893312700597,"sku":"9781564785350","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f7db2bab-4bf2-42ba-99ac-d3b492af443d.jpg?v=1619538581","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/savage-9781564785350","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
