{"product_id":"9781400095865","title":"The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this authoritative, insightful biography, we see the modernist master Joseph Conrad as a man who consistently reinvented himself. Born in 1857 in the Ukraine, he left home early and worked as a sailor, traveling to the Far East and Africa, and eventually settled in England, beginning a precarious existence as a novelist. John Stape describes a man with a deep sense of otherness, a writer who wrote in his third language and whose fiction became the cornerstone of modernism. With his exceptional understanding of Conrad, Stape succeeds in casting a new light on the life of a man who remains one of the greatest writers of his, and our, time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040709755120,"sku":"9781400095865","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400095865_p0.jpg?v=1763712117","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400095865","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
