{"product_id":"9781742585147","title":"The Garden of Sorrows","description":"In this book, fourteen mesmerizing fables - and the etchings they inspired - draw us back to our origins in a garden of sorrow and exile, death and renewal, beauty and melancholy. John Hughes re-imagines a series of fables in which Australian animals take on human qualities, as thief and actor, warrior and poet, farmer and merchant. These are reverse fables - in the way that the Antipodes reverse Northern Hemisphere logic - that cast us back to the flux at the beginning of the world: inchoate nature, the world in a state of formation, the garden, and the inferno. Accompanied by artist Marco Luccio's darkly wry etchings, this collaboration between two artists is as unique as the stories it contains.","brand":"University of Western Australia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032495866096,"sku":"9781742585147","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781742585147_p0.jpg?v=1763706126","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781742585147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
