{"product_id":"9781466839601","title":"Cancer Ward: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCancer Ward\u003c\/i\u003e examines the relationship of a group of people in the cancer ward of a provincial Soviet hospital in 1955, two years after Stalin's death. We see them under normal circumstances, and also reexamined at the eleventh hour of illness. Together they represent a remarkable cross-section of contemporary Russian characters and attitudes. The experiences of the central character, Oleg Kostoglotov, closely reflect the author's own: Solzhenitsyn himself became a patient in a cancer ward in the mid-1950s, on his release from a labor camp, and later recovered. Translated by Nicholas Bethell and David Burg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157944877296,"sku":"9781466839601","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466839601_p0.jpg?v=1763686152","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466839601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
