{"product_id":"elective-affinities-9780140442427","title":"Elective Affinities","description":"By: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe     \u003chr\u003eEduard and Charlotte are an aristocratic couple who live a harmonious but idle life in their estate. But the peace of their existence is thrown into chaos when two visitors - Eduard's friend the Captain and Charlotte's passionate young ward Ottilie - provoke unexpected attraction and forbidden love. Taking its title from the principle of elective affinities - the theory that certain chemicals are naturally drawn to one another - this is a penetrating study of marriage and adultery. Inspired by Goethe's own conflicting loyalties as he battled to maintain his relationship with his wife and control his feelings for a younger woman, Elective Affinities is one of the greatest works of the romance era: a rich exploration of love, conflict, and the inescapable force of fate.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"GB - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44218202423523,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780140442427","price":120.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780140442427_d97f4694-34c6-44ed-bc5e-d0c9bcb90680.jpg?v=1734947794","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/elective-affinities-9780140442427","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
