{"product_id":"cousine-bette-book-honore-de-balzac-9782070361380","title":"La Cousine Bette","description":"Bette, a poor relation of the beautiful Adeline, nurses a terrible grudge against her cousin's family, on whom she depends. That family is slowly being ruined by the uncontrollable sexual appetites of Adeline's husband, Baron Hulot--and it is this weakness that will give the cunning Cousin Bette an opportunity to exact her vengeance. A profound examination of obsessive passion, this masterpiece exemplifies what Henry James described as Balzac's huge, all-compassing, all-desiring, all-devouring love of reality. One of Balzac's scenes of Parisian life, Cousin Bette offers a hypnotic vision of the infinitely varied city during the bright, vital, and scandalous era of King Louis-Philippe. The courtesans, swindlers, bankers, artists, murderers, detectives, and saints that pass before us blaze with an unsurpassed vividness and energy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49591265100049,"sku":"GOR001530461","price":5.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50246236504337,"sku":"CIN2070361381G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51273394553105,"sku":"GOR001205890","price":4.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51474092589329,"sku":"GOR003145785","price":3.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2070361381.jpg?v=1750933835","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/cousine-bette-book-honore-de-balzac-9782070361380","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
