{"product_id":"arturos-island-9781631496622","title":"Arturo's Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eElsa Morante's novels were once considered the greatest of Italy's postwar generation. Here, Ann Goldstein's \"deft translation\" (Madeline Schwartz, \u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e) of \u003cem\u003eArturo's Island\u003c\/em\u003e heralds a \"second life\" for the beloved author, finally garnering Morante \"the new readers she deserves\" (Lily Tuck, \u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e). Imbued with a spectral grace, the novel follows the adolescent Arturo through his days on the isolated Neapolitan island of Procida, where--his mother long deceased, his father often absent, and a dog as his sole companion--he roams the countryside or reads in his family's lonely, dilapidated mansion. This quiet, meandering boyhood existence is existentially upended when his father brings home a beautiful sixteen- year- old bride, Nunziatella. A novel of thwarted desires, written with \"the power of malediction\" (Dwight Garner, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e), Arturo's Island reemerges to take its rightful place in the world literary canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3032008\"\u003eElsa Morante\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631496622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163149662X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC004000\"\u003eClassics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC043000\"\u003eComing of Age\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48459773149421,"sku":"9781631496622","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_dc7cd7c1-4b20-4ad3-8748-2a3fe3981f57.jpg?v=1753648396","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/arturos-island-9781631496622","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
