{"product_id":"fly-book-miroslav-holub-9781852240189","title":"The Fly","description":"Miroslav Holub was the Czech Republic's most important poet, and also one of her leading immunologists. His fantastical and witty poems give a scientist's bemused view of human folly and other life on the planet. Mixing myth, history and folktale with science and philosophy, his plainly written, sceptical poems are surreal mini-dramas often pivoting on paradoxes. He was first introduced to English readers with a Penguin Selected Poems in 1967. This book presents work written by Holub prior to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, later forming the 'Before' part of Poems Before \u0026amp; After: Collected English Translations (1990).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49526350577937,"sku":"GOR006067704","price":88.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852240180.jpg?v=1751457107","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/fly-book-miroslav-holub-9781852240189","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
