{"product_id":"crucible-arthur-miller-9780141182551","title":"Crucible","description":"Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - 'one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history' - and the American anti-communist purges led by Senator McCarthy in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.\nA depiction of innocent men and women destroyed by malicious rumour, The Crucible is also a powerful indictment of McCarthyism and the 'frontier mentality' of Cold War America.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49468642132256,"sku":"9780141182551","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780141182551.jpg?v=1785347840","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/crucible-arthur-miller-9780141182551","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
