It is a gripping, profound reading experience - as startling, in its different way, as Hesse''s Siddhartha and Steppenwolf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533841989920,"sku":"NEW0141984619","price":18.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81-tJFqEnxL.jpg?v=1777352766","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/narcissus-goldmund-penguin-modern-classics-0141984619","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
