{"product_id":"9781455429332","title":"The Making of a Saint","description":"The narrator and central figure is Filippo Brandolini. He tells the story of his young-adult life--romance and adventure. Filippo joins forces with friends Checco and Mateo to overthrow Giralomo Riario, who rules over and exploits the town of Forli. Giralomo falls; Checco and Mateo fall; ultimately, Filippo is a wreck of a man, living out his life as a monk, and hoping for the earliest available death. The people of Forli demonstrate a conspicuous lack of loyalty. The worst character in the book is the Pope's representative, Savello, a hypocrite of the first water and a murderer: To coerce Caterina, the widow of the slain Giralomo, Savello is willing, in Caterina's presence, to hang her innocent children.","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124287455472,"sku":"9781455429332","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455429332_p0.jpg?v=1763859103","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455429332","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
