{"product_id":"9781524647872","title":"Last and Near-Last Words of the Famous, Infamous and Those In-Between","description":"The author has assembled a collection of 3,676 last words from a select group of individuals as they faced their approaching demise. This compilation illuminates a group of beings ranging from convicted criminals to the most holy. Some serenely committed their souls to a higher being while others railed against oncoming death. Many are famous, some are notorious, and others blur into a less well-defined subgroup. The majority of entries consist of final spoken words, but a few wills, epitaphs, diaries, and last letters are also included in this collection. A brief sketch of each person includes birth and death dates, country of origin, and a short biographical sketch. Farewells spoken after the turn of the twenty-first century ensure that this compilation has some of the most up-to-date material in this genre.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161298944240,"sku":"9781524647872","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781524647872_p0.jpg?v=1763737752","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781524647872","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
