{"product_id":"in-other-words","title":"In Other Words","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Other Words is a revelation. It is at heart a love story of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. Although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterwards, true mastery had always eluded her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeeking full immersion, she decided to move to Rome with her family, for 'a trial by fire, a sort of baptism' into a new language and world. There, she began to read and to write - initially in her journal - solely in Italian. In Other Words, an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a dual-language format, this is a wholly original book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Vladimir Nabokov: a startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jhumpa Lahiri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44229957058620,"sku":"9781101947654","price":997.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/in-other-words-9781101947654.jpg?v=1776779392","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/in-other-words","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
