{"product_id":"9781805332060","title":"A Bad Business : Essential Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe stories in this collection range from impossible fantasy to scorching satire. A civil servant finds a new passion for his work when he's swallowed alive by a crocodile. A struggling writer stumbles on a cemetery where the dead still talk to each other. An arrogant but well-intentioned gentleman provokes an uproar at a subordinate's wedding, and in the marital bed. And a young boy finds unexpected salvation on a cold and desolate Christmas Eve. This vivid translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater and Maya Slater illuminates Dostoevsky's dazzling versatility as a writer. His remarkable short fiction swings from wickedly sharp humour to gripping psychological intensity, from cynical social mockery to moments of unexpected tenderness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pushkin Press Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53030445547829,"sku":"EB_LI0700_N02-07_AD","price":66.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781805332060-1_9cfae3e0-92ac-4865-a20f-6a73320b0469.jpg?v=1790306315","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/products\/9781805332060","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
