{"product_id":"9781908664518","title":"Three Poisons","description":"Three Poisons is a collection of three short stories 'giving remarkably vivid and imaginative expression, in a contemporary setting' of the three hindrances to freedom: greed, Ill-will and delusion. The setting is South Africa and, far from being bitter or nihilistic, the stories are shot through with an affection for humanity - its cultures and its frailties. It 'bears testament to the subtlety of Pillay's understanding of philosophy, the slippery cleft between normality\/madness and the complexity of ordinary lives in an extraordinary society.' Nowhere does Kriben tell us what to think, but he sets us on a path to make our own enquiry - or just to enjoy three first-rate truly original short stories.","brand":"New Harbinger Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040032997616,"sku":"9781908664518","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908664518_p0.jpg?v=1763621844","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908664518","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
