{"product_id":"9781554886678","title":"The View from Tamischeira","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the dawn of the twentieth century a disparate group of travellers are thrown together in the Caucasus Mountains, fabled land of Argonauts, Amazons, and Cossacks. Henry Norman, a British Member of Parliament and author, teams up with Canadian radio pioneer and amateur archaeologist Reginald Fessenden and Katherine Waddell, the lover of Fessenden's dead friend, Ottawa poet Archibald Lampman.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach has a question. Fessenden seeks physical confirmation of the Garden of Eden, Atlantis, and the Great Flood. Norman, ever the detached observer, is after material for a new book but gets more than he bargained for. Waddell pursues some elusive realm where she can find solace for her grief over Lampman and perhaps, like Fessenden, a glimpse of Paradise. Along for the carriage ride through the remote Caucasus is Pushkin-loving Sergei, a rowdy, irreverent Georgian guide and interpreter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are many views from Mount Tamischeira, legendary spot from which the Deluge of Deluges was first witnessed, but for this band of latter-day Argonauts, peering into one's heart may be the most challenging prospect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181253607664,"sku":"9781554886678","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554886678_p0.jpg?v=1763755131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554886678","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
