{"product_id":"2940170845118","title":"Plain Tales From the Hills","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncluding the stories \"Lispeth,\" \"Beyond the Pale,\" and \"In the Pride of His Youth,\" this collection tells of soldiers, wise children, exiles, forbidden romances and divided identities, creating a rich portrait of Anglo-Indian society. Originally published for a newspaper in Lahore when Kipling was a journalist, the tales were later revised by him to re-create as vividly as possible the sights and smells of India for readers at home. Far from being a celebration of empire, these stories explore the barriers between races, classes and sexes, and convey all the tensions and contradictions of colonial life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115751260400,"sku":"2940170845118","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170845118_p0.jpg?v=1763719414","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170845118","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
