{"product_id":"goethe","title":"Elective Affinities - Goethe","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Genius strikes again. This is Goethe's 3rd novel published in 1809. I often ask myself, 'Can I even read something written that long ago? Am I able to process the way people wrote back then?' The answer is: I still need to try. And one place I always go to is Goethe. 'Elective Affinities' is a great term used to describe compounds that only interacted with each other under select circumstances (like the marriage in this novel), Sciencey stuff, so of course Goethe would use a term so clever. We revere Goethe, there, I said it. This is a gently read, vintage papeback. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brown Bag Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53390263058726,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/5811\/7542\/files\/8C7FF34A-DE51-49F4-91AF-1FFB4A4405F7.jpg?v=1782251262","url":"https:\/\/brownbagbooks.biz\/products\/goethe","provider":"Brown Bag Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
