{"product_id":"the-adventures-of-sindbad-9781590174456","title":"The Adventures of Sindbad","description":"\"What you have loved remains yours.\" Thus speaks the irresistible rogue Sindbad, ironic hero of these fantastic tales, who has seduced and abandoned countless women over the course of centuries but never lost one, for he returns to visit them all--ladies, actresses, housemaids--in his memories and dreams. From the bustling streets of Budapest to small provincial towns where nothing ever seems to change, this ghostly Lothario encounters his old flames wherever he goes: along the banks of the Danube; under windows where they once courted; in churches and in graveyards, where Eros and Thanatos tryst. Lies, bad behavior, and fickleness of all kinds are forgiven, and love is reaffirmed as the only thing worth persevering for, weeping for, and living for. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Sindbad i\u003c\/i\u003es the Hungarian master Gyula Kr dy's most famous book, an uncanny evocation of the autumn of the Hapsburg Empire that is enormously popular not only in Hungary but throughout Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590174456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.09w x 0.52d","brand":"Gyula Krudy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45078829531317,"sku":"9781590174456","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7fa1285f-63fa-447e-953f-92ce4af2452f.jpg?v=1738681778","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-adventures-of-sindbad-9781590174456","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
