{"product_id":"9780141184548","title":"Despair by Vladimir Nabokov","description":"A work of rapture - jolting, hilarious and incredibly racy'  Martin Amis, The TimesSelf-satisfied, delighting in the many fascinating quirks of his own personality, Hermann is perhaps not to be taken too seriously. But then a chance meeting with Felix, a man he believes to be his double, reveals a frightening 'split' in Hermann's nature. Convinced that he has found his doppelg?nger, Hermann uses this discovery to weave a money-making plan that leads to disguise, betrayal and eventually murder. Filled with impudent, startling humour, and dominated by the egotistical and scornful figure of a killer who thinks himself an artist, Despair takes us into a deranged world of doubles and illusions, where nothing is quite as it seems.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43201445494962,"sku":"9780141184548","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9780141184548_54460838-7835-4dd1-9865-aa6446c1bd55.jpg?v=1698856032","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780141184548","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
