{"product_id":"the-tale-of-genji-1","title":"The Tale Of Genji","description":"In the eleventh century Murasaki Shikibu, a lady in the Heian court of Japan, wrote the world's first novel. But The Tale of Genji is no mere artifact. It is, rather, a lively and astonishingly nuanced portrait of a refined society where every dalliance is an act of political consequence, a play of characters whose inner lives are as rich and changeable as those imagined by Proust. Chief of these is \"the shining Genji,\" the son of the emperor and a man whose passionate impulses create great turmoil in his world and very nearly destroy him. This edition, recognized as the finest version in English, contains a dozen chapters from early in the book, carefully chosen by the translator, Edward G. Seidensticker, with an introduction explaining the selection. It is illustrated throughout with woodcuts from a seventeenth-century edition.","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":40175913042001,"sku":"PL788.4.G4","price":6.06,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":40175913074769,"sku":"PL788.4.G4","price":4.85,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":40175913107537,"sku":"PL788.4.G4","price":4.37,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":40175913140305,"sku":"PL788.4.G4","price":3.88,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/7047.jpg?v=1717743869","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/the-tale-of-genji-1","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
