{"product_id":"9782919946709","title":"The Case for Honesty","description":"The newest semi-autobiographical collection of essays by Anca Tudorascu explores, with startling honesty, some of the things that are hidden, forgotten, or ignored in our lives, both at individual and at social level.\u003cbr\u003eThe author delves into those subjects that are hushed in polite conversation.\u003cbr\u003eThe mood of the book can go from dark and harsh, to almost ethereal in just a few lines. The author's voice is honest throughout.\u003cbr\u003eTudorascu shares with the reader ideas and experiences concerning rural life in communist Romania in the 80s, money management in the modern times, family dynamics, employment, simple living, animals and nature, critical thinking, to name just a few topics.\u003cbr\u003eThe author hopes that some of the ideas contained in these pages will stay with the reader longer than the time taken to read them. She believes that, while introspection has not killed anyone, a grain of it would surely prevent many instances of cruelty in our dealings with one another.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is intended as the beginning of a deeper conversation.","brand":"Anca Tudorascu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055204417776,"sku":"9782919946709","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782919946709_p0.jpg?v=1763710193","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782919946709","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
