{"product_id":"the-duel-modern-library-classics","title":"The Duel (Modern Library Classics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1891, this morality tale pits a scientist, a government worker, his mistress, a deacon, and a physician against one another in a verbal battle of wits and ethics that explodes into a violent contest: the duel. When Laevsky, a lazy youth who works for the government, tires of his dependent mistress, Nadyezhda Fyodorovna, Von Koren, the scientist, delivers a scathing critique of Loevsky’s egotism, forcing the young man to examine his soul. The Duel is a tale of human weakness, the possibility of forgiveness, and a man’s ultimate ability to change his ways. It is classic Chekhov, revealing the multifaceted essence of human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Author: Anton Chekhov • Publisher: Random House • Format: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45704399814700,"sku":"9780812970081","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9780812970081.jpg?v=1782336853","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/the-duel-modern-library-classics","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
