It's a sneak preview of heaven. It encompasses the stories of a cruise ship hijacked by terrorists and of woodworms tried for blasphemy in sixteenth-century France. It explores the relationship of fact to fabulation and the antagonism between history and love. In short, A History of the World in 10 Chapters is a grandly ambitious and inventive work of fiction, in the traditions of Joyce and Calvino, from the author of the widely acclaimed Flaubert's Parrot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52207766765856,"sku":"NEW0679731377","price":15.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91lZoKfeePL.jpg?v=1787125744","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-world-in-10-12-chapters-vintage-international-0679731377","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
