{"product_id":"2940014506878","title":"Animals: 99 Cent Androcles and the Lion","description":"A retelling of the consequences following the meeting of Androcles, the slave, and a wounded lion. To prick a thorn out of a lion's foot one will surely gain new friends and old enemies. The story of Androcles, a Christian who is about to be sent to the lions for being a heretic in the Roman Empire. A cynical, humerous, poignant, and hypocritical story of religion versus humanism. The book is intended with the introduction with Shaw's discourse on Jesus and Christianity. Fantastic tale, which involved great wit , he makes some good remarks on the problems of Christianity. Mainly is the devout in which they will surely go to the lions before giving up their gods. Hypocritically the Romans could care less who their gods were or whether they believed in them, so long it was not a Christian god. The introduction acts as a set-up to put one in the mind set of Shaw and to understand his point of view which makes the play that much easier to understand and funnier to read. The play itself is a wonderful entry into the classics of the theater. Highly Recommended!","brand":"classics reborn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069292953840,"sku":"2940014506878","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014506878_p0.jpg?v=1763610142","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014506878","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
