{"product_id":"the-elements","title":"The Elements","description":"'An epic.... Impactful and provocative' The New York Times'An almost note-perfect piece of first-person storytelling' Guardian'Subtle, intelligent and humane' Sunday Telegraph____________John Boyne's acclaimed quartet of Water, Earth, Fire and Air come together at last.Human life is governed by the elements - water, earth, fire and air. They are fundamental to our existence. They sustain us, but they also challenge us.In The Elements, John Boyne has created a vivid kaleidoscope to reflect that contradiction: a quartet of intertwined narratives, each providing a different perspective on cause and effect from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator and the victim.From a mother on the run from her past, to a young football star on trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and finally a father on a transformative journey with his son, the four strands weave together to form a tapestry of intersecting lives.Boyne's most ambitious work yet, The Elements is both an engrossing drama and a moving examination of the fault lines inherent to human experience. In crisp, spellbinding prose, he navigates a complex subject with extraordinary empathy and unflinching honesty, at every step challenging us to confront our own perceptions of who we are and what made us that way.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":52803429597522,"sku":"9780857528872","price":25.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_91868592-0cd2-4443-bafb-47b6e075456e.jpg?v=1772061204","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-elements","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
