{"product_id":"the-forgotten-village","title":"The Forgotten Village","description":"The novelist who wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e and the director who produced \u003ci\u003eCrisis \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLights Out in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e combined their superb talents to tell the story of the coming of modern medicine to the natives of Mexico. There have been several notable examples of this pen-camera method of narration, but \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Village\u003c\/i\u003e is unique among them in that Steinbeck wrote the text before a single picture was shot. The book and the movie from which \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Village\u003c\/i\u003e was made have a continuity and a dramatic growth not to be found in typical documentary films of the time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From this wealth of pictures, 136 photographs were selected for their intrinsic beauty and for the graceful harmony with which they accompany Steinbeck's text. This new script-photograph technique of narration conveys its ideas with unexcelled brilliance and immediacy. In the hands of such master storytellers as Steinbeck and Kline, it makes the reader catch his breath.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48845498286285,"sku":"9780143117186","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_7aa7f8ac-f6ad-4d81-bb3f-dde31be1dfdf.jpg?v=1792776494","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/the-forgotten-village","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
