{"product_id":"9780307946751","title":"THREE FAMOUS SHORT NOVELS","description":"“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” —William Faulkner\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese short works offer three different approaches to Faulkner, each representative of his work as a whole. \u003ci\u003eSpotted Horses\u003c\/i\u003e is a hilarious account of a horse auction, and pits the “cold practicality” of women against the boyish folly of men. \u003ci\u003eOld Man\u003c\/i\u003e is something of an adventure story. When a flood ravages the countryside of the lower Mississippi, a convict finds himself adrift with a pregnant woman. And \u003ci\u003eThe Bear\u003c\/i\u003e, perhaps his best known shorter work, is the story of a boy’s coming to terms wit the adult world. By learning how to hunt, the boy is taught the real meaning of pride, humility, and courage.","brand":"William Faulkner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45895506428116,"sku":"9780307946751","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3b9385db-d3a6-4b51-b801-63ce8ad0c1a3.jpg?v=1732447612","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780307946751","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
