{"product_id":"winesburg-ohio-9780553214390","title":"Winesburg, Ohio","description":"Published in 1919, \u003cb\u003eWinesburg, Ohio\u003c\/b\u003e is Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece, a work in which he achieved the goal to which he believed all true writers should aspire: to see and feel \"all of life within.\" In a perfectly imagined world, an archetypal small American town, he reveals the hidden passions that turn ordinary lives into unforgettable ones. Unified by the recurring presence of young George Willard, and played out against the backdrop of Winesburg, Anderson's loosely connected chapters, or stories, coalesce into a powerful novel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn such tales as \"Hands,\" the portrayal of a rural berry picker still haunted by the accusations of homosexuality that ended his teaching career, Anderson's vision is as acute today as it was over eighty-five years ago. His intuitive ability to home in on examples of timeless, human conflicts--a workingman deciding if he should marry the woman who is to bear his child, an unhappy housewife who seeks love from the town's doctor, an unmarried high school teacher sexually attracted to a pupil--makes this book not only immensely readable but also deeply meaningful. An important influence on Faulkner, Hemingway, and others who were drawn to Anderson's innovative format and psychological insights, \u003cb\u003eWinesburg, Ohio\u003c\/b\u003e deserves a place among the front ranks of our nation's finest literary achievements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553214390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.85h x 4.23w x 0.58d","brand":"Sherwood Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561466556597,"sku":"9780553214390","price":5.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_003cea4e-7057-40c1-9bd3-32f98eedd2a2.jpg?v=1723525636","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/winesburg-ohio-9780553214390","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
