{"product_id":"9789076660110","title":"The N-Word Of The Narcissus","description":"WordBridge Publishing has performed a public service in putting Joseph Conrad's neglected classic into a form accessible to modern readers. This new version addresses the reason for its neglect: the profusion of the so-called n-word throughout its pages. Hence, the introduction of \"n-word\" throughout the text, to remove this offence to modern sensibilities. The N-word of the Narcissus tells the tale of a fateful voyage of a British sailing ship, and on that voyage the ability of a lone black man to take the crew hostage. The ability of this man to manipulate an entire ship's crew can no longer be seen as a mere exercise in storytelling. Conrad in fact appears to have been the first to highlight the phenomenon of manipulation based in white guilt.","brand":"WordBridge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059088081136,"sku":"9789076660110","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789076660110_p0.jpg?v=1763671061","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789076660110","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
