{"product_id":"9780099284796","title":"The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima","description":"A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard this disallusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying.;  144 pages; Published: 11\/03\/1999\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9780099284796\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56456999108990,"sku":"9780099284796","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9780099284796.jpg?v=1761330388","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9780099284796","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
