{"product_id":"brighton-rock-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition","title":"Brighton Rock (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition of Graham Greene's 1938 novel, with the French flaps, deckle-edge option, and the cover illustration that Penguin uses when it wants a classic to look like a gift. The book tracks a teenage Brighton gangster and the woman who decides, almost as a hobby, to bring him down. Greene divides the action between Catholic guilt and seaside violence, and the Coetzee introduction treats the novel as serious fiction rather than genre exercise. The Deluxe format is larger and heavier than the standard Penguin, with paper thick enough to justify the price increase. Ideal reader: the reader who thinks Greene is at his best when he is writing about damnation in a rented room, or the collector who wants a classic that looks good left out on a table.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48520403779796,"sku":"9780142437971","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780142437971.jpg?v=1787415345","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/brighton-rock-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
