{"product_id":"9780811220989","title":"Two Crocodiles","description":"\u003cp\u003eBound together in mystical crocodile skin, two unforgettably singular novellasTwo Crocodiles highlights two literary masters from opposite ends of the world — Russia’s Fyodor Dostoevsky and Uruguay’s Felisberto Hernández. Dostoevsky’s crocodile, cruelly displayed in a traveling sideshow, gobbles whole a pretentious high-ranking civil servant. But the functionary survives unscathed and seizes his new unique platform to expound to the fascinated public. Dostoevsky’s Crocodile is a matchless, hilarious satire.Hernández’s Crocodile, on the other hand, while also terribly funny, is a heartbreaker. A pianist struggling to make ends meet as a salesman finds success when he begins to weep before clients and audience alike, but then he can’t stop the crocodile tears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011601645808,"sku":"9780811220989","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780811220989_p0.jpg?v=1763740978","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780811220989","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
