{"product_id":"jacobs-room","title":"Jacob's Room","description":"\u003cstrong\u003e'What do we seek through millions of pages? Still hopefully turning the pages -- oh, here is Jacob's room.'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho is Jacob Flanders? Virginia Woolf's third novel, published in 1922 alongside James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e and T.S. Eliot's \u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e, follows this elusive title character from a sunlit childhood on the Cornwall coast to adventures in Cambridge, London, and Athens. Women fall in love with Jacob; young men desire his company and conversation. But Woolf keeps her scornful, charming protagonist at a distance, enveloping Jacob in mystery as he enters adulthood and the Great War thunders across Europe. A daring work that reimagines every element of the traditional novel, \u003cem\u003eJacob's Room\u003c\/em\u003e tells a new story for a new century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1922, Lytton Strachey pronounced Jacob's Room 'a most wonderful achievement--more like poetry, it seems to me, than anything else, and as such I prophesy immortal.' One hundred years after its publication, Woolf 's first full-length work of experimental fiction pulls us into the inexhaustible mysteries of intimacy and mortality.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48841735438541,"sku":"9780192857392","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_40726d22-c516-4182-ab88-76bc281b84a7.jpg?v=1792171486","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/jacobs-room","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
