{"product_id":"inez","title":"Inez","description":"Two narratives twine through this superb novel: one introduces Gabriel Atlan-Ferrara, a fabled orchestral conductor, and his great passion,  Inez Prada, a red-haired Mexican diva; the other is a mysterious telling of the first encounter in human history between a man and a woman. Berlioz's music for \u003cem\u003eThe Damnation of Faust\u003c\/em\u003e brings Gabriel and Inez together, while the emerging love of neh-el and ah-nel--the original lovers--echoes the Faustian pact of love and death. Linking these narratives is a beautiful crystal seal that belongs to Atlan-Ferrara, its meaning an enigma that obsesses him. And like the light refracted through the seal, these stories begin in prehistory and spiral out into infinity. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eInez\u003c\/em\u003e, we find Carlos Fuentes at the height of his magical and realist powers. This profound and beautiful work confirms his standing as one of the world's pre-eminent novelist.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Carlos Fuentes","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":55251085820195,"sku":"9780156013611","price":10.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/2258\/5123\/files\/9780156013611.jpg?v=1781800005","url":"https:\/\/epicreads.com\/products\/inez","provider":"Epic Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
