{"product_id":"stoner-1","title":"Stoner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWilliam Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: USA, 2006\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Random House Inc\u003cbr\u003ePages: 278\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1590171993\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781590171998\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53006790492426,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781590171998.jpg?v=1778153394","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/stoner-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
