{"product_id":"9780805243482","title":"The Retreat","description":"The year is 1937. On a remote hilltop some distance from Vienna stands a hotel called The Retreat. Founded by a man who is determined to cleanse himself and his guests of all \"Jewish traits,\" it is a resort of assimilation, with daily activities that include lessons in how to look, talk, act--in short, how to pass--as a gentile. But with Hitler on the march, the possibilities of both assimilation and retreat are quickly fading for the hotel's patrons, men and women who are necessarily--and horrifically--blind to their fate. Mordant, shrewd, and elegantly written, \u003ci\u003eThe Retreat\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving story of people forbidden to retreat from themselves, by the writer whom Irving Howe called \"one of the best novelists alive.\"","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128264999152,"sku":"9780805243482","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780805243482_p0.jpg?v=1763737752","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780805243482","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
