{"product_id":"strumpet-city-1","title":"James Plunkett: Strumpet City [2006] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet in Dublin during the Lockout of 1913, Strumpet City is a panoramic novel of city life. It embraces a wide range of social milieux, from the miseries of the tenements to the cultivated, bourgeois Bradshaws. It introduces a memorable cast of characters: the main protagonist, Fitz, a model of the hard-working, loyal and abused trade unionist; the isolated, well-meaning and ineffectual Fr O'Connor; the wretched and destitute Rashers Tierney. In the background hovers the enormous shadow of Jim Larkin, Plunkett's real-life hero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrumpet City's popularity derives from its realism and its naturalistic presentation of traumatic historical events. There are clear heroes and villians. The book is informed by a sense of moral outrage at the treatment of the locked-out trade unionists, the indifference and evasion of the city's clergy and middle class and the squalor and degradation of the tenement slums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plunkett, James","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":52372128530771,"sku":"XG80717140589","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47440415326547,"sku":"XV80717140589","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":49434060357971,"sku":"9780717140589","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/plunkett-james-james-plunkett-strumpet-city-2006-paperback-59009647247699.jpg?v=1763049761","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/strumpet-city-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
