{"product_id":"9780914671268","title":"Private Life","description":"By: Josep Maria de Sagarra     \u003chr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrivate Life\u003c\/i\u003e holds up a mirror to the moral corruption in the interstices of the Barcelona high society Sagarra was born into. Boudoirs of demimonde tramps, card games dilapidating the fortunes of milquetoast aristocrats - and how they scheme to conceal them - fading manors of selfish scions, and back rooms provided by social-climbing seamstresses are portrayed in vivid, sordid, and literary detail. \u003cbr\u003eThe novel, practically a \u003ci\u003eroman-à-clef\u003c\/i\u003e for its contemporaries, was a scandal in 1932. The 1960's edition was bowdlerized by Franco's censors. Part Lampedusa, part Genet, this translation will bring an essential piece of 20th-century European literature to the English-speaking public.","brand":"Archipelago","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46782374248675,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780914671268","price":102.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780914671268.jpg?v=1751734167","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/9780914671268","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
