{"product_id":"the-primrose-path-9781513282046","title":"The Primrose Path","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Primrose Path\u003c\/i\u003e (1875) is the debut novel of Irish author Bram Stoker. Written over two decades before \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e, his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eThe Primrose Path\u003c\/i\u003e helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror's reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. Inspired by the temperance movement, Stoker crafts a simple narrative about a man brought low through temptation and a lack of opportunity. Originally serialized in \u003ci\u003eThe Shamrock\u003c\/i\u003e, a weekly magazine published in Ireland, \u003ci\u003eThe Primrose Path\u003c\/i\u003e is a largely unrecognized novel that deserves reassessment by readers and academics alike. Jerry O'Sullivan is a good man who wants noting more to provide for his young wife in order to start a family. Looking for work as a theatrical carpenter, he moves from his native Dublin to the sprawling city of London, where he soon finds work and hopes to settle down. After a series of accidents, however, he grows distant from his wife Katey and falls victim to the temptations of alcohol. As he begins to lose control, he grows jealous, loses his job, and begins to harbor dangerous fantasies. Soon, despite his moral upbringing, he risks committing an act too heinous to imagine. \u003ci\u003eThe Primrose Path\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping work of horror and naturalism by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history's greatest villains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker's \u003ci\u003eThe Primrose Path\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mint Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513282046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Bram Stoker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40550365593781,"sku":"9781513282046","price":5.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f856bf26-38f3-42c7-a8ea-95cc9289b353.jpg?v=1626789967","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-primrose-path-9781513282046","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
