Stille explores not simply the past, but our ideas about the past-and how they will have to change if our past is to have a future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737932169504,"sku":"NEW0312420943","price":12.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71I9--89hfL.jpg?v=1779578271","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-future-of-the-past-0312420943","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
