{"product_id":"9781590177921","title":"Tristana","description":"An NYRB Classics Original\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon Lope is a Don Juan, an aging but  still effective predator on the opposite sex. He is also charming and  generous, unhesitatingly contributing the better part of his fortune to  pay off a friend’s debts, kindly assuming responsibility for the  friend’s orphaned daughter, lovely Tristana. Don Lope takes her into his  house and before long he takes her to bed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s an arrangement  that Tristana accepts more or less unquestioningly— that is, until she  meets the handsome young painter Horacio. Then she actively rebels, sets  out to educate herself, reveals tremendous talents, and soon surpasses  her lover in her open defiance of convention. One thing is for sure:  Tristana will be her own woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd when it counts Don Lope will be there for her.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenito  Pérez Galdós, one of the most sophisticated and delightful of the great  European novelists, was a clear-eyed, compassionate, and not-a-little  amused observer of the confusions, delusions, misrepresentations, and  perversions of the mind and heart. He is the unsurpassed chronicler of  the reality show called real life.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175625769200,"sku":"9781590177921","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590177921_p0.jpg?v=1763803022","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590177921","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
