{"product_id":"last-words-14","title":"Last Words","description":"\u003cp\u003e   The last words of the dying often provide insight into their feelings about life. Some are peaceful (\"It is very beautiful over there\"--Thomas Alva Edison); many are spiritual (\"Don't ask the Lord to keep me here. Ask him to have mercy\"--Walker Percy); others are angry (\"God-damn the whole frigging world and everybody in it--except you Carlotta\"--W.C. Fields); still others reflect the weary fight against death (\"I'm bored of it all\"--Sir Winston Churchill).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Nearly 2,000 deathbed quotations from saints, popes, statesmen, scientists, soldiers, musicians, athletes, artists, entertainers, writers, criminals and others are included in this reference work. Each entry includes a brief biographical sketch of the person and sets the quotation in context. The sources for the quotes include biographies, newspaper and magazine accounts, and, in a few instances, firsthand accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231541449048,"sku":"9780786425525","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786425525_0f92a9d5-01e7-479b-9dc0-e48e4f53c150.jpg?v=1764495034","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/last-words-14","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
