{"product_id":"2940014170543","title":"Isaac: A Modern Fable","description":"A lively, inventive tale of Isaac that follows him beyond Genesis into the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter being spared from Abraham's blade, he's been granted eternal youth and wanders the earth as a soldier of fortune.  Turning up at a coffee shop in Los Angeles, he falls in love with Ruby Canby, a brilliant, breezy academic with a troubled past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsaac suspects he was forgotten, \"a crumb dropped innoticed in a kitchen crevice.\"  Perhaps whatever saved him is long gone, leaving him \"a puppet without a puppet master, like one of those Japanese soldiers stranded on an island after World War II.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsaac and Ruth must ultimately confront a sinister, enigmatic phantom that's stalked him for forty centuries.  The story makes stops that include the Spanish Inquisition, a luxury box at the Super Bowl, and the infamous cells of the Tombs of New York City.  Along the way it takes stock of time and chance, good and evil, faith, forgiveness, God Satan, and the power of everlasting love.","brand":"The Permanent Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080004878576,"sku":"2940014170543","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014170543_p0.jpg?v=1763602166","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014170543","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
