{"product_id":"the-devil-and-pierre-gernet-stories","title":"The Devil and Pierre Gernet: Stories | David Bentley Hart","description":"Brilliant scholar and wordsmith David Bentley Hart turns his mind and imagination to narrative fiction in this volume, The Devil and Pierre Gernet, a thought-provoking collection of four short stories and one novella. Anticipating questions about his shift in genre, Hart writes that \"God is no more likely (and probably a good deal less likely) to be found in theology than in poetry and fiction.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese stories -- \"The Devil and Pierre Gernet,\" \"The House of Apollo,\" \"A Voice from the Emerald World,\" \"The Ivory Gate,\" and \"The Other\" -- beguile and entrance the reader through Hart's engrossing, opulent writing style and the complex characters he evokes and explores.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOften bedazzling, sometimes heartbreaking, and ultimately mesmerizing, Hart's wide-ranging stories are united by a common thread of haunting religious and philosophical questions about this life and the next. Here is fiction to fully engage both the mind and the heart.","brand":"Bust-Down Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50674717688123,"sku":"0802817688","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2077\/7531\/files\/22818193482473.jpg?v=1761268779","url":"https:\/\/bustdownbooks.com\/products\/the-devil-and-pierre-gernet-stories","provider":"Bust-Down Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
