{"product_id":"il-tallone-di-ferro","title":"Il tallone di ferro","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the United States of the Chicago Commune, the rise of a plutocratic and totalitarian oligarchy is narrated through the story of Avis Everhard. The spoiled scion of a wealthy family, Avis falls in love with a young revolutionary. Through him, she becomes aware of the \"invisible machine\", which is a literal \"Iron Heel\" that crushes the poor underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the progenitor of the great utopian-dystopian novels of the 20th century, \u003cem\u003eThe Iron Heel\u003c\/em\u003e (1908) anticipates the horrors of totalitarianism that would soon leave their mark on world history. While the novel reveals the poetic ambiguity of London's socialist dream, it remains a work of tremendous vividness and power, still capable of leaving readers breathless today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Jack London \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was more than just an author; he was a force of nature. Born in San Francisco during a time of rapid American expansion, London lived the very adventures he wrote about. Before becoming the highest-paid writer of his era, he was an oyster pirate, a seal hunter, a hobo riding freight trains across the country, and a gold seeker in the brutal winters of the Klondike. London’s writing is defined by Naturalism—a raw, unsentimental look at the struggle for survival. His experiences in the Yukon Territory provided the frozen backdrop for his most famous works, where he explored the thin line between civilization and the primitive instinct. He wrote over 50 books and hundreds of short stories in just 17 years, and he is one of the most extensively translated American authors, published in over 70 languages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mondadori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57741470761305,"sku":null,"price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/8716\/5529\/files\/9788804811831_0_0_0_0.jpg?v=1775407967","url":"https:\/\/lilicommunity.com\/products\/il-tallone-di-ferro","provider":"LiLi Community","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
