{"product_id":"2940169930337","title":"Country of the Pointed Firs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Country of the Pointed Firs (1896) is considered Jewett¿s finest work, described by Henry James as her ¿beautiful little quantum of achievement.¿ Despite James¿s diminutives, the novel remains a classic. Because it is loosely structured, many critics view the book not as a novel, but a series of sketches; however, its structure is unified through both setting and theme. Jewett herself felt that her strengths as a writer lay not in plot development or dramatic tension, but in character development. Indeed, she determined early in her career to preserve a disappearing way of life, and her novel can be read as a study of the effects of isolation and hardship on the inhabitants who lived in the decaying fishing villages along the Maine coast.\u003cbr\u003e(summary from Gutenberg e-text)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DISCOS PALMAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150424097008,"sku":"2940169930337","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169930337_p0.jpg?v=1772801624","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169930337","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
