{"product_id":"2940149377503","title":"Our Mutual Friend [Christmas Summary Classics]","description":"Our Mutual Friend\u003cbr\u003e\"Our Mutual Friend\" was the last long complete novel Dickens wrote, and, like all his books, it first appeared in monthly parts. It was so published in 1864-65. After three numbers had appeared, the author wrote: \"I have grown hard to satisfy, and write very slowly. Although I have not been wanting in industry, I have been wanting in imagination.\" In his \"Postscript in Lieu of Preface,\" the author points out--in answer to those who had disputed the probability of Harmon's will--\"that there are hundreds of will cases far more remarkable than that fancied in this book.\" In this same postscript Dickens also renewed his attack on Poor Law administration, begun in \"Oliver Twist.\" Though \"Our Mutual Friend\" is not one of the greatest or most famous of Dickens's works, for it is somewhat loosely constructed as a story, and shows signs of laboured composition, it abounds in scenes of real Dickensian character, and is not without touches of the genius which had made its author the foremost novelist of his time, and one of the greatest writers of all ages.","brand":"Kartindo Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181099041008,"sku":"2940149377503","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149377503_p0.jpg?v=1763715589","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149377503","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
