{"product_id":"mcteague-1","title":"McTeague","description":"An early example of American realism, \"McTeague\" was considered truly shocking when first published at the turn of the century. This searing portrait of the downfall of a slow-witted dentist and his avaricious wife embodies Frank Norris' powerful insights into conflicting forces of heredity and social conditioning. It is a novel of compelling narrative force, resounding with a sense of life as epic. As Kevin Starr points out in his introduction, \"McTeague\" continues to be regarded as a central statement of evolutionary awareness in late nineteenth-century America and as representative of the best work of a school of writers that included Stephen Crane and Theodore Dreiser.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218305962328,"sku":"9780140187694","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780140187694__676ef7cf01bbc.jpg?v=1741157696","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mcteague-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
