{"product_id":"9781908878120","title":"Hunters in the Snow","description":"Vienna in the early 20th century was, in the words of our protagonist and narrator, a soulless, syphilitic whore of a city; a turbulent and bubbling melting pot of races, creeds and politics, rapidly expanding as it strained to contain the ever-increasing multitudes. In such places the nightmare moments of modern history are conceived. This novel is a fictionalised account of those who were to change the very collective psyche of mankind. It is a vivid and poignant portrayal of the sometimes thin dividing line between becoming good or evil.\u003cp\u003eD. M. Thomas is a British novelist and poet, born and living in Cornwall. His novel The White Hotel was an international bestseller and shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It is rightly considered a modern classic. John Updike said of the book: 'Astonishing ... A forthright sensuality mixed with a fine historical feeling for the nightmare moments in modern history, a dreamlike fluidity and quickness'; the statement could equally be applied to Hunters in the Snow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Cornovia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062002663664,"sku":"9781908878120","price":12.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908878120_p0.jpg?v=1763623426","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908878120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
