{"product_id":"books-goddess-in-the-stones-by-norman-lewis","title":"Goddess in the Stones","description":"The last volume of the trilogy on the Southern sub-continent, following \"A Dragon Apparent\" and \"Golden Earth\". It was Norman's belief that much of the old India described by early travellers remained to be re-discovered off the beaten track, and accordingly he undertook a journey of 2,500 miles in search of this. His travels begin, far from the tourist itinerary, in the feudal state of Bihar, currently the scene of a brutal case war in which untouchables attempting to defend their newly-won rights are massacred by higher caste gangs. From these violent happenings Lewis takes refuge in the mountains of the East, investigating the extraordinary customs of some of the 3 million bow-and-arrow tribal peoples who have survived in isolation here defending a seductive life-style. The India Norman Lewis describes is lonely, beautiful and unspoilt.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672101413137,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780224027779.jpg?v=1781518396","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-goddess-in-the-stones-by-norman-lewis","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
