In these sensitive and accurate versions by acclaimed translator Anthony Mortimer, Meyer’s achievement is available to anglophone readers for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alma Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55021848330584,"sku":"9781847495266","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781847495266_2a2ad3c1-fab1-4f24-8e8a-f08fdd651fda.jpg?v=1779863465","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/footprints-16","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
