{"product_id":"9781453265208","title":"House of All Nations","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe devious world of international finance comes alive in Christina Stead’s enthralling epic about a ruthless bank director in 1930s Paris\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraised as “a work of extraordinary talent” by the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Christina Stead’s ambitiously layered \u003ci\u003eHouse of All Nations\u003c\/i\u003e is an engrossing satire of wealth and manipulation. Set in an elite European bank in the 1930s, Stead’s epic spans the interwar years of a money-hungry Paris. Jules Bertillon, the distrustful and unpredictable bank director, sees every national disaster—including war—as an opportunity for riches. Adored by his clients for his ability to rake in staggering profits, Bertillon leaves no opening wasted—even if it means dealing with unsavory speculators or ruthless gamblers while his clients suffer the consequences. A stunning page-turner, \u003ci\u003eHouse of All Nations\u003c\/i\u003e is as significant and resonant today as it was upon its publication in 1938.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140738728176,"sku":"9781453265208","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453265208_p0.jpg?v=1763846643","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453265208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
