{"product_id":"9781411430945","title":"Three Early Novels: Liza of Lambeth, Mrs Craddock, The Magician (Barnes \u0026 Noble Library of Essential Reading)","description":"The three novels in this collection, \u003ci\u003eLiza of Lambeth\u003c\/i\u003e (1897), \u003ci\u003eMrs Craddock\u003c\/i\u003e (1902), and \u003ci\u003eThe Magician\u003c\/i\u003e (1908), had a lasting influence on the literary world. Their settings are various--ranging from the South London slums through the Kentish countryside to the British expatriate community in early twentieth-century Paris--and yet they have common qualities. In each, the protagonist is isolated from a traditional community and unable to create new personal relationships that might enable survival in a changing society. The three novels thus dramatize a dilemma Maugham faced in his own life and one that is the central theme of much modern literature.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138242593008,"sku":"9781411430945","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781411430945_p0.jpg?v=1769895784","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781411430945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
