{"product_id":"embers-by-sandor-maria","title":"Embers by Sandor Maria","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1942 and now rediscovered to international acclaim, this taut and exquisitely structured novel by the Hungarian master Sandor Marai conjures the melancholy glamour of a decaying empire and the disillusioned wisdom of its last heirs. In a secluded woodland castle an old General prepares to receive a rare visitor, a man who was once his closest friend but who he has not seen in forty-one years. Over the ensuing hours host and guest will fight a duel of words and silences, accusations and evasions. They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the General’s beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game was taken but during which something was lost forever. Embers is a classic of modern European literature, a work whose poignant evocation of the past also seems like a prophetic glimpse into the moral abyss of the present\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trailhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44103528284340,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/2746\/1812\/files\/71OCSLXMCNL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1765223050","url":"https:\/\/trailheadbooks.com\/products\/embers-by-sandor-maria","provider":"Trailhead Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
