{"product_id":"2940170813278","title":"Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his great triptych \"The Millennium,\" Bosch used oranges and other fruits to symbolize the delights of Paradise. Whence Henry Miller's title for this, one of his most appealing books; first published in 1957, it tells the story of Miller's life on the Big Sur, a section of the California coast where he lived for fifteen years. \u003ci\u003eBig Sur\u003c\/i\u003e is the portrait of a placeamp;mdash;one of the most colorful in the United Statesamp;mdash;and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there: writers (and writers who did not write), mystics seeking truth in meditation (and the not-so-saintly looking for sex-cults or celebrity), sophisticated children, and adult innocents; geniuses, cranks, and the unclassifiable, like Conrad Moricand, the \"Devil in Paradise,\" who is one of Miller's greatest character studies. Henry Miller writes with a buoyancy and brimming energy that are infectious. He has a fine touch for comedy. But this is also a serious bookamp;mdash;the testament of a free spirit who has broken through the restraints and clichés of modern life to find within himself his own kind of paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117656359152,"sku":"2940170813278","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170813278_p0.jpg?v=1763718187","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170813278","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
