{"product_id":"2940033164318","title":"Falls the Shadow","description":"\u003cp\u003eFalls the Shadow consists of twin short stories, Falls the Shadow and La Feria, which, although they have defined identities, share a common heritage and are in many ways inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFalls the Shadow, the first of the two, is set on the North Atlantic coast, whereas La Feria is set in Southern Spain, in Andalusia. It is a journey which takes us from the harsh, pessimistic climes of the north to the gentler, more optimistic region of the south. Though more than a geographical journey it is a philosophical one. We counterbalance the northern work ethic, the severity of the notion that life is a ruler by which we will be finally measured, with that of life as a gift, a celebration, a brief but intense gypsy dance. In La Feria we are shown the almost Oriental element present in Andalusian Flamenco philosophy, where grief demands a counterpart of happiness, where joy exists because of and despite sorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tommy Dakar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154675319024,"sku":"2940033164318","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940033164318_p0.jpg?v=1763657956","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940033164318","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
