{"product_id":"9788027332458","title":"Pair of Patient Lovers (Unabridged)","description":"Excerpt: \"I have often had to criticize life for a certain caprice with which she treats the elements of drama, and mars the finest conditions of tragedy with a touch of farce. No one who witnessed the marriage of Arthur Glendenning and Edith Bentley had any belief that she would survive it twenty-four hours; they themselves were wholly without hope in the moment which for happier lovers is all hope.\" William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author, literary critic, and playwright. Howells is known to be the father of American realism, and a denouncer of the sentimental novel. He was the first American author to bring a realist aesthetic to the literature of the United States. His stories of Boston upper crust life set in the 1850s are highly regarded among scholars of American fiction.","brand":"Howells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47575072178494,"sku":"9788027332458","price":399.46,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9788027332458.jpg?v=1707775338","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9788027332458","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
