{"product_id":"9781419326783","title":"The Society of Others","description":"\u003cp\u003eBest-selling author William Nicholson collected Oscar and BAFTA nominations for co-writing the rousing screenplay to the Academy Award-winning Gladiator. Now with The Society of Others, he delivers a richly atmospheric, psychological thriller that is engrossing from first word to last. A recent college graduate, the unnamed and disenchanted narrator of this tale leaves home to embark on a hitchhiking journey, with no particular destination in mind. He is picked up by a philosophical truck driver who is smuggling books into an oppressed Eastern European country. But at a roadblock, the driver is tortured and killed by armed thugs, while the hitchhiker escapes into the woods. Lost and alone, he struggles to understand his situation-and discovers more about himself than he ever thought possible. Reminiscent of a Franz Kafka masterpiece and full of suspense, The Society of Others is a remarkably unique achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035897086192,"sku":"9781419326783","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781419326783_p0.jpg?v=1763728409","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781419326783","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
