{"product_id":"9781598536201","title":"Booth Tarkington: Novels \u0026 Stories : The Library of America #309","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Here are three indispensable works from the Pulitzer Prize-winning laureate of the American heartland, including the novels that inspired a classic film by Orson Welles and an Oscar-nominated performance by Katharine Hepburn. The Magnificent Ambersons depicts the fall from grace of George Minafer, scion of the once-unassailable Amberson family whose wealth and grandeur are in precipitous decline. Alice Adams, perhaps Booth Tarkington's greatest work, offers a psychologically nuanced portrait of a self-aware young woman whose social prospects are rapidly diminishing. Tarkington's gifts as a story writer are displayed in the collection In the Arena: Stories of Political Life, published not long after he served as an Indiana state representative and drawing from his firsthand encounter with the rough-and-tumble of real-world politics. With original illustrations from the first editions, helpful annotation, and a newly researched chronology of Tarkington's life and career.\"--Dust jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49795118596344,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":68.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781598536201-1.jpg?v=1784587301","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781598536201","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
