{"product_id":"arturos-island","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, New York Review of Books) of Arturo's Island heralds a \"second life\" for the beloved author, finally garnering Morante \"the new readers she deserves\" (Lily Tuck, Wall Street Journal). 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, New York Times), Arturo's Island reemerges to take its rightful place in the world literary canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eElsa Morante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslator: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAnn Goldstein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 386\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 8.3 in H | 5.5 in W | 1 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn sale date: February 18, 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Liveright Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liveright Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43260002730198,"sku":"9781631496622","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/products\/Arturo_sIsland.jpg?v=1658166478","url":"https:\/\/telegraphhillbooks.com\/products\/arturos-island","provider":"Telegraph Hill Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
