{"product_id":"you-deserve-nothing-9781609450489","title":"You Deserve Nothing","description":"Set in Paris, at an international high school catering to the sons and daughters of wealthy families, \u003ci\u003eYou Deserve Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping story of power, idealism, and morality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam Silver is a talented and charismatic young teacher whose unconventional methods raise eyebrows among his colleagues and superiors. His students, however, are devoted to him. His teaching of Camus, Faulkner, Sartre, Keats and other kindred souls breathe life into their sense of social justice and their capacities for philosophical and ethical thought. But unbeknownst to his adoring pupils, Silver proves incapable of living up to the ideals he encourages in others. Emotionally scarred by failures in his personal life and driven to distraction by the City of Light's overpowering carnality and beauty, Silver succumbs to a temptation that will change the course of his life. His fall will render him a criminal in the eyes of some, and all too human in the eyes of others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Maksik's stylish prose, Paris is sensual, dazzling and dangerously seductive. It serves as a fitting backdrop for a dramatic tale about the tension between desire and action, and about the complex relationship that exists between our public and private selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Europa Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609450489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alexander Maksik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661872099484,"sku":"9781609450489","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_18618ace-c140-4915-864c-e7956c20873a.jpg?v=1603900471","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/you-deserve-nothing-9781609450489","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
