{"product_id":"the-emperor-waltz","title":"The Emperor Waltz","description":"The most ambitious and daring novel novel yet from Booker Prize-shortlisted Philip Hensher.\n\n'A novel that's almost fizzy to the touch … A performance of extraordinary flair and majesty from a writer who seems capable of anything' Guardian\n\n'The Emperor Waltz' is a single novel with three narrative strands: fourth-century Rome, 1920s Germany, and 1980s London. In each place, a small coterie is closely connected and separated from the larger world. In each story, the larger world regards the small coterie and its passionately-held beliefs and secrets with suspicion and hostility.\n\nIt is the story of eccentricity, its struggle, its triumph, its influence - but also its defeat.","brand":"Philip Hensher","offers":[{"title":"HarperCollins Publishers \/ 07 May 2015 \/ A16","offer_id":49971499925845,"sku":"9780007459599","price":2.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780007459599.webp?v=1733253605","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/the-emperor-waltz","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
