{"product_id":"9780156013611","title":"Inez","description":"\u003cbr\u003eTwo narratives twine through this superb novel: one introduces Gabriel Atlan-Ferrara, a fabled orchestral conductor, and his great passion, Inez Prada, a red-haired Mexican diva; the other is a mysterious telling of the first encounter in human history between a man and a woman. Berlioz's music for \u003ci\u003eThe Damnation of Faust\u003c\/i\u003e brings Gabriel and Inez together, while the emerging love of neh-el and ah-nel--the original lovers--echoes the Faustian pact of love and death. Linking these narratives is a beautiful crystal seal that belongs to Atlan-Ferrara, its meaning an enigma that obsesses him. And like the light refracted through the seal, these stories begin in prehistory and spiral out into infinity. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eInez\u003c\/i\u003e, we find Carlos Fuentes at the height of his magical and realist powers. This profound and beautiful work confirms his standing as one of the world's pre-eminent novelist.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011686285552,"sku":"9780156013611","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780156013611_p0.jpg?v=1763657911","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780156013611","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
