{"product_id":"9780553286526","title":"Education of a Wandering Man","description":"From his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning—from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women—that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man. Like classic L'Amour fiction, \u003ci\u003eEducation of a Wandering Man\u003c\/i\u003e mixes authentic frontier drama--such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert--with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe. At last, in his own words, this is a story of a one-of-a-kind life lived to the fullest . . . a life that inspired the books that will forever enable us to relive our glorious frontier heritage.","brand":"Louis L'Amour","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Mass market (rack) paperback","offer_id":45893390663892,"sku":"9780553286526","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_2083d9e1-3597-45c8-9616-7431370d6f4b.jpg?v=1732341637","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780553286526","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
