{"product_id":"9781554457793","title":"The New Machiavelli","description":"\"Since I came to this place I have been very restless, wasting my energies in the futile beginning of ill-conceived books. One does not settle down very readily at two and forty to a new way of living, and I have found myself with the teeming interests of the life I have abandoned still buzzing like a swarm of homeless bees in my head. My mind has been full of confused protests and justifications. In any case I should have found difficulties enough in expressing the complex thing I have to tell, but it has added greatly to my trouble that I have a great analogue, that a certain Niccolo Machiavelli chanced to fall out of politics at very much the age I have reached, and wrote a book to engage the restlessness of his mind, very much as I have wanted to do.\"","brand":"eBooksLib","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176945271024,"sku":"9781554457793","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554457793_p0.jpg?v=1763752105","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554457793","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
