{"product_id":"2940169884012","title":"The Devil's Pool","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Devil's Pool (1846) is a novel about the life of the French peasants by George Sand. Excerpt from the book: \"I knew the young man and the beautiful child; I knew their history, for they had a history. Although but a peasant and a laborer, Germain had always been aware of his duties and affections. He had related them to me clearly and ingenuously, and I had listened with interest. After some time spent in watching him plow, it occurred to me that I might write his story, though that story were as simple, as straightforward, and unadorned as the furrow he was tracing. Next year that furrow will be filled and covered by a fresh one. Thus disappear most of the footprints made by man in the field of human life. A little earth obliterates them, and the furrows we have dug succeed one another like graves in a cemetery. I mean, if possible, to save from oblivion the furrow of Germain, the skilled husbandman. He will never know nor care, but I shall take pleasure in my talk.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonah Magar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116960399600,"sku":"2940169884012","price":14.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169884012_p0.jpg?v=1763696311","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169884012","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
