{"product_id":"the-voice-that-thunders","title":"The Voice That Thunders","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collection of writings by the author of the 2022 Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker\u003cbr\u003e\n'His work has a symphonic quality unique in fiction' THE TIMES\u003cbr\u003e\nAlan Garner is an exceptional lecturer and essayist. This rich collection of writings, spanning more than twenty years, explores an enviable range of scholarly interests: archaeology, myth, language, education, philosophy, the spiritual quest, mental health, literature, music and film.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book also serves as a poetic autobiography of one of England's best-loved but least public writers. He hears himself declared dead at the age of six; he draws on the deep vein of a rural working-class childhood in a family of craftsmen who instilled the passion for excellence and for innovation and humour. The disciplines he learnt as a Classicist give a shape and clarity to that passion in this richly various book that would have fascinated his forebears, whose work and lives are also celebrated here.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis most unusual, most candid, most vivid picture of an English family and its home, its country's history, is also a devastating revelation of a writer's own life. Alan Garner's account of his mental illness will become a classic, and each strand of the book will be a source of fascination to anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of an Alan Garner story, as also to all who concern themselves with the craft of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45073440047283,"sku":"9780008672201","price":559.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/31m92pC4xWL.jpg?v=1762869051","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-voice-that-thunders","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
