{"product_id":"9781473394582","title":"Travels in Switzerland","description":"This early work by Alexandre Dumas was originally published in 1843 and is now being republished with a brand new introductory biography. 'Travels in Switzerland' is a non-fiction work on the sights and geography of Switzerland. Alexandre Dumas was born in Villers-Cotterêts, France in 1802. His parents were poor, but their heritage and good reputation - Alexandre's father had been a general in Napoleon's army - provided Alexandre with opportunities for good employment. In 1822, Dumas moved to Paris to work for future king Louis Philippe I in the Palais Royal. It was here that he began to write for magazines and the theatre. Dumas made a lot of money from his writing, but he was almost constantly penniless as a result of his extravagant lifestyle and love of women.","brand":"Read Books Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125125759216,"sku":"9781473394582","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473394582_p0.jpg?v=1769892801","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473394582","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
