{"product_id":"b0hchzfk54","title":"The Cyprus Chronicles: Short Stories From A Very Long Past","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery stone in Cyprus tells a story. True stories from 9000 years of history which Tom van Menzing picks up and wraps in totally fictitious plots: From a Stone Age love affair gone fatally wrong to a modern village's distinctly illegal bounty on a troublesome dog. Along the way you'll meet kings and saints, smugglers and ghosts, soldiers, lovers, and the occasional vengeful viper — all rooted in real places, complete with GPS coordinates, so you can stand exactly where the story happened. Each of the 14 short stories ends with a What Remains note, separating fact from the author's mischief and offering just enough history to make you sound clever at dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEqual parts literary fiction and irreverent travel companion, this collection is best read with a glass of zivania in one hand and a road map in the other. Whether you're exploring Cyprus or simply love history with a wicked sense of humor, prepare to discover a past that was never short of punchlines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52817357963480,"sku":"YSL30313","price":5.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71S6Bo55FuL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793083845","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0hchzfk54","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
