{"product_id":"9781909156869","title":"Depeche Mode","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1993, tragic turbulence takes over Ukraine in the post-communist spin-off. As if in somnambulism, Soviet war veterans and upstart businessmen listen to an American preacher of whose type there were plenty at the time in the post-Soviet territory. In Kharkiv, the young communist head quarters are now an advertising agency, and a youth radio station creates a feature on the Irish folk band Depeche Mode and the role of the harmonica in the struggle against capitalist oppression. And so the Western songs make their way into ordinary Ukrainian homes of ordinary people.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the middle of this craze three friends, an anti-Semitic Jew  Dog Pavlov, an unfortunate entrepreneur Vasia the Communist and the narrator Zhadan, nineteen years of age and unemployed, seek to find their old pal Sasha Carburator to tell him that his step-father shot himself dead. Characters confront elements of their reality, and, tainted with traumatic survival fever, embark on a sad, dramatic and a bit grotesque adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e***\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis title has been realised by a team of the following dedicated professionals: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTranslated from the Ukrainian by Myroslav Shkandrij,\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaxim Hodak - Максим Ходак (Publisher),\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMax Mendor - Макс Мендор (Director),\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYana Kovalskaya and Camilla Stein.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glagoslav Publications Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116276433136,"sku":"9781909156869","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909156869_p0.jpg?v=1763623704","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909156869","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
