{"product_id":"antiquities-1","title":"Antiquities","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Antiquities, Lloyd Wilkinson Petrie, one of the seven elderly trustees of the now-defunct (for thirty-four years) Temple Academy for Boys, is preparing a memoir of his days at the school, intertwined with the troubling distractions of present events. As he navigates, with faltering recall, between the subtle anti-Semitism that pervaded the school's ethos and his fascination with his own family's heritage--in particular, his illustrious cousin, the renowned archaeologist Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie--he reconstructs the passions of a childhood encounter with the oddly named Ben-Zion Elefantin, a mystifying older pupil who claims descent from Egypt's Elephantine Island. From this seed emerges one of Cynthia Ozick's most wondrous tales, touched by unsettling irony and the elusive flavor of a Kafka parable, and weaving, in her own distinctive voice, myth and mania, history and illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: USA, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Knopf\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 192\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9780593318829\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 059331882X\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cynthia Ozick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894949081354,"sku":"","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/61s2jpzom9L._SL1500.jpg?v=1700393077","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/antiquities-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
