{"product_id":"coming-up-for-air","title":"Coming Up for Air","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Orwell's paean to the end of an idyllic era in British history, Coming Up for Air is a poignant account of one man's attempt to recapture childhood innocence as war looms on the horizon. George Bowling, forty-five, mortgaged, married with children, is an insurance salesman with an expanding waistline, a new set of false teeth - and a desperate desire to escape his dreary life. He fears modern times - since, in 1939, the Second World War is imminent - foreseeing food queues, soldiers, secret police and tyranny. So he decides to escape to the world of his childhood, to the village he remembers as a rural haven of peace and tranquillity. But his return journey to Lower Binfield may bring only a more complete disillusionment.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 130 x 197\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: George Orwell\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780241597453\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46934620864665,"sku":"14RC9780241597453","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/69d6196cb75ed_Coming_Up_for_Air.jpg?v=1775912539","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/coming-up-for-air","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
