{"product_id":"1599345","title":"The Tiger by Lisa St. Aubin De Teran","description":"Its protagonist, a German family scion born in 1911 and known simply as Lucien, grows up under the tutelage of his grandmother, Misia Schmutter, a despot who rules her Venezuelan estate as if she were a spider who spins a web not so much for killing (although she does this too) but for the fascination of power. She molds Lucien to her will, and after dying becomes a supernatural presence clinging to his back like the predatory tiger the boy once killed. But while her creed seems vaguely fascist, it is transmuted by Lucien's somewhat gentler spirit into a kind of existential obsession with pure action. This is, in fact, a story of Misia's for order and the will; Lucien's for architecture, gardens and gambling, and those of other characters, whose feelings range from love to bitterness. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"box-shadow: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%; padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%; padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003ePenguin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYear\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e1986\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBinding\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e9780140080483\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003eFair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDescription\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003eOwner's Name inside.
