Professor La Ciura is one of the world's most distinguished Hellenists; his knowledge, however, came at the cost of a loss that has haunted him for his entire life. This Lampedusa's final masterpiece, is accompanied here by the parable 'Joy and the Law' and 'The Blind Kittens,' a story originally conceived as the first chapter of a followup to \u003ci\u003eThe Leopard\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53854771675474,"sku":"9781590177198","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_f915c768-b6a6-416b-a4f0-a37ecbae5721.jpg?v=1782600972","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-professor-and-the-siren","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
