{"product_id":"ghosts-john-banville-9781035076833","title":"Ghosts","description":"Ghosts opens with a shipwreck, leaving a party of sightseers temporarily marooned on an island. The stranded castaways make their way towards the refuge of the isle’s reclusive savant; but the big isolated house which is home to Professor Silas Kreutznaer and his laconic assistant, Licht, is also home to another, unnamed presence . . .\nOnto this seemingly haunted island, where a strange singing hangs in the air, Banville drops a scrumptious cast of characters – including a murderer – and weaves a tale where the details are clear but the conclusion polymorphous – shifting appearances, transformations and thwarted assumptions make this world of uneasy calm utterly enthralling.\n‘As fascinating, complex, stimulating and energetic as any work of art . . . A work which proves Banville as a master, the artist in total control of his craft’ The Times \n‘John Banville’s funniest book . . . another triumph by our most outrageously inventive and daring novelist’ The Sunday Independent\n‘Makes this astonishingly attractive novelist one of the most important writers now at work in English – a key thinker, in fact, in fiction’ The London Review of Books\nNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233388757280,"sku":"9781035076833","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781035076833_2440944.jpg?v=1771326434","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/ghosts-john-banville-9781035076833","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
