{"product_id":"9781901864144","title":"Encounter with a Wise Man: A Christmas Tale of Wisdom","description":"Encounter with a Wise Man was first published as part of a trilogy of short stories all involving Father Christmas. It is published here, on its own, as a fable that speaks clearly of the follies which are enslaving the minds of the peoples of the world, leading to a future that must not be. Being without doubt an unusual tale from the mind of a highly creative writer, Encounter with a Wise Man contains a powerful message and a warning to contemporary civilisation, for which the notion of wisdom is rapidly taking a back seat. What is becoming all too prevalent instead are the fruits of the labours of the children of the ideologies of science, free-market economics, and religion, who, being blindly caught up in their respective collective delusions, are jointly creating a hell on earth from which there will be no escape. The message of this book is clear: rediscover, now, wisdom and begin to walk a different path, or condemn future generations to live in a world that no sane person would want to be part of.","brand":"Cheshire Henbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043704815856,"sku":"9781901864144","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781901864144_p0.jpg?v=1763612108","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781901864144","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
