The details of scene and behavior, the emotions registered \u0026amp;; seldom bravura, typically muted and complex, often as surprising to the characters themselves as to the reader but always right \u0026amp;; move, astonish, and delight us line after line, story after story.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800759426768\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.3 x 5.2 x 0.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50212713169200,"sku":"Trans_9780486426761","price":139.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81XHYsA8ZHL.jpg?v=1760338659","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-duel-and-other-stories-thrift-editions","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
