{"product_id":"9781493142408","title":"Kelvin's Zero","description":"A content of this novel is simple. Ida Alagar, the main character of the novel, is locked in a lift in one of the mansions in Milano, where she works as a house servant. A married couple Sforza, the owners of this” three-storey Taj Mahal”, went to America for one months and Ida’s “ chances of survival are equal to Kelvin’s zero”, the absolute zero, when “even atomic movement stops”. Twenty three year old incarcerated Ida remembers her past. There is a string of effective episodes: childhood, father’s death, a loss of virginity.  This claustrophobic novel, written in 1987, symbolically forecast bloody reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian-Herzegovina lift is still stuck between a lower and upper floor. And contemporary reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina “is more fantastic than the most fantastic phantasy”, as Mahmutefendic said, borrowing the expression from Dostoyevsky.","brand":"Xlibris UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126628172016,"sku":"9781493142408","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781493142408_p0.jpg?v=1763663392","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781493142408","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
