{"product_id":"the-celestial-city-9781915568229","title":"The Celestial City","description":"A young man plunges into student life, in flight from an overbearing father, in search of an identity of his own making. He is like everyone else in his quest for a future he cannot yet understand. His experiences, often comic, always innocently human, are an exploration of the concept of boundaries. But in choosing to study in Trieste, a city of many-layered histories and ethnicities, a city of brilliant sunshine and ferocious gales, he finds that life, and love, throw him more questions than answers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a tale of Everyman, but more than that: in the hands of Diego Marani, author of the celebrated New Finnish Grammar, this wry and affecting novel leads the reader on a nostalgic and thought-provoking journey made wholly individual by its evocation of place - the celestial city of Trieste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I did not think that one could weep for a city. But at that time I did not know that cities are women, one can fall in love with them and never forget them.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915568229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.12w x 0.50d","brand":"Diego Marani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507425734837,"sku":"9781915568229","price":11.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4c6a6fc0-63da-4d67-9cb0-efbb42f3ba04.jpg?v=1722312337","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-celestial-city-9781915568229","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
