{"product_id":"the-tesseract","title":"The tesseract","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlex Garland's international bestseller, The Beach, received extraordinary praise, and his writing was compared to Hemingway, Greene, Conrad, Golding, and Huxley. His new novel, The Tesseract, is a bold departure from The Beach, and demonstrates the enormous range of Garland's talent.The Tesseract is a Chinese puzzle of a novel, beautifully written and suspensefully crafted. Set in the Philippines and spanning three generations, it follows three stories whose characters' fates are intertwined: gangsters on a chase through the streets of Manila; middle-class parents putting their children to bed in the suburbs; and a couple of street kids and the wealthy psychologist who is studying their dreams. It is a novel that balances science against religion, and our wills against our fates, asking the ever elusive question of where meaning lies.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 110 x 180\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Alex Garland\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780140283532\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45988783161497,"sku":"8RD9780140283532","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/6933ffbdeb46b_The_tesseract.jpg?v=1765186099","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/the-tesseract","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
