{"product_id":"2940157419042","title":"The Thirty-nine Steps","description":"The classic and highly riveting adventure story by John Buchan is presented in this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in 1915 at a time when public interest in espionage and spy adventures was growing, The Thirty-Nine Steps brought the fast-paced adventures of Richard Hannay to an eager audience. Caught up in a geopolitical plot that is transpiring around Europe after two men - one a freelance spy - are murdered in his apartment block, Hannay enters into the murkily adventurous world of espionage in order to save multiple political figures from assassination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAhead of its time, The Thirty-Nine Steps pioneered a dialogue rich, fantastical style of writing which would come to typify adventure tales and thrillers. It is frequently placed in the 'man-on-the-run' sub-genre, for portraying Hannay simultaneously as a wanted fugitive, and a potential saviour with important knowledge that may alter the course of Europe's entire politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book gained traction with the public and was a bestseller during and shortly after World War I. Its author penned a further four more works featuring Richard Hannay, while The Thirty-Nine Steps itself has received several motion picture and radio adaptations.","brand":"Triangle Circle Square","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300653973744,"sku":"2940157419042","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157419042_p0.jpg?v=1764107887","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157419042","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
