{"product_id":"9780143112877","title":"Thomas Hardy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A masterful portrait\" (The Philadelphia Inquirer) from a Whitbread Award-winning biographer, and author of A Life of My Own.  The novels of Thomas Hardy have a permanent place on every booklover's shelf, yet little is known about the interior life of the man who wrote them. A believer and an unbeliever, a socialist and a snob, an unhappy husband and a desolate widower, Hardy challenged the sexual and religious conventions of his time in his novels and then abandoned fiction to reestablish himself as a great twentieth-century lyric poet. In this acclaimed new biography, Claire Tomalin, one of today's preeminent literary biographers, investigates this beloved writer and reveals a figure as rich and complex as his tremendous legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52253298917687,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":173.37,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780143112877-1.jpg?v=1783095776","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780143112877","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
