{"product_id":"9781884419768","title":"Saracen Tales","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFiction. Short Stories. Translated from the Italian by Barbara De Marco. In SARACEN TALES, Italian-born Giuseppe Bonaviri brings a wild newness to the tale of the life of Jesus. In this succession of stories, Bonaviri explores all manners of the known and unknown, the archetypal, the mythological, the symbolic--the life of Jesus is both his material and his point of departure. Part surrealism, part folklore, readers will be amazed at the originality and creativity with which a long-familiar tale is presented. \"Bonaviri is a myth-maker, looking simultaneously to the historical past and to the future, to arrive at the a-historical, at cosmic universality\"--Franco Zangrilli. Giuseppe Bonaviri was born in 1924 in Sicily. He began writing when he was ten and continued through high school, college, and in his professional life as a doctor, health official, and cardiologist. His work has been widely translated.","brand":"Bordighera Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054710243568,"sku":"9781884419768","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781884419768_p0.jpg?v=1763605148","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781884419768","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
