{"product_id":"the-premier","title":"The Premier","description":"In this unusual story of an aged statesman facing the extinction of his power, Simenon creates a figure of both splendour and futility. At his cliff-top home in Normandy, the old Premier watches and waits while France is in crisis. As he reflects on his past, he recalls a betrayal that still haunts him. The narrative delves into the inner life of a great man, revealing the complexities and vulnerabilities of his character. Simenon's terse, elliptical style captures the essence of a man grappling with his legacy and the passage of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished 1965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Well Read","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":50752473858329,"sku":"ON.VB.1496","price":15.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/AgAD7BEAAmM54VQ_processed.png?v=1746678022","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/the-premier","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
