{"product_id":"9781471180248","title":"A Fine Madness","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristopher Marlowe, Shakespeare's exact contemporary and sometime collaborator, was the leading playwright of his day whose dramatic verse and themes - political power, the power of love and the route to damnation - transformed English theatre. His Doctor Faustus was the first great dramatic rendering of the Faust legend. Probably an atheist, probably a spy and possibly gay, he lived and wrote as a literary Caravaggio until killed in a knife-fight he had himself provoked, aged 29. Alan Judd's perfectly poised and breathtakingly suspenseful novel subtly delineates the strands of that life, physical and spiritual, showing how they coalesce in a death that remains mysterious and controversial.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster UK Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Alan \/ Judd","offer_id":40128202899504,"sku":"9781471180248","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/products\/9781471180248.jpg?v=1648634444","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9781471180248","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
