{"product_id":"waterland","title":"Waterland","description":"The Booker Shortlisted Modern Classic from the author of Last Orders, Mothering Sunday and Here We Are\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One summer morning in 1943, lock-keeper Henry Crick finds the drowned body of a sixteen-year-old boy. Nearly forty years later, his son Tom, a history teacher, is driven by a bizarre marital crisis and the provocation of one of his students to forsake the formal teaching of history—and tell stories . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaterland is a classic of modern fiction: a vision of England seen through its mysterious, amphibious Fen country; a sinuous meditation on the workings of time; a tale of two families, startling in its twists and turns and universal in its reach. Compulsively readable, it is a novel of resonant depth and encyclopaedic richness, mixing human and natural history and exploring the tragic forces that take us both forwards and back. It is also a book about beer, eels, the French Revolution, the end of the world, windmills, will-o’-the-wisps, murder, love, education, curiosity and—supremely—the malign and merciful element of water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘A quite brilliant novel’ Daily Telegraph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Inspired’ New York Times\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53842831245650,"sku":"9781471187322","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_a25bfcf9-fde6-4414-be58-1c424bb5db97.jpg?v=1782450857","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/waterland","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
