{"product_id":"the-hundred-days-9780811225113","title":"The Hundred Days","description":"Joseph Roth paints a vivid portrait of Emperor Napoleon's last grab at glory, the hundred days spanning his escape from Elba to his final defeat at Waterloo. This particularly poignant work, set in the first half of 1815 and largely in Paris, is told from two perspectives, that of Napoleon himself and that of the lowly, devoted palace laundress Angelica--an unlucky creature who deeply loves him. In \u003cem\u003eThe Hundred Days\u003c\/em\u003e, Roth refracts the deep sorrow of their intertwined fates. \u003cp\u003eRoth's signature lyrical elegance and haunting atmospheric details sing in \u003cem\u003eThe Hundred Days\u003c\/em\u003e. \"There may be,\" as James Wood has stated, \"no modern writer more able to combine the novelistic and the poetic, to blend lusty, undamaged realism with sparkling powers of metaphor and simile.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811225113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Joseph Roth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604379627701,"sku":"9780811225113","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e5159fcf-ca73-4f1c-910f-c7824968c426.jpg?v=1780452907","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hundred-days-9780811225113","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
