{"product_id":"mcteague","title":"McTeague","description":"An ignorant and ineffectual man, McTeague has established for himself a small, uneventful career as an unlicensed dentist; but his life changes after he meets and marries the lovely Trina. A winning lottery number temporarily enriches their lives — until Trina's ever-increasing lust for money arouses a latent brutish nature in her husband. Inspired by an actual crime sensationalized in the San Francisco press at the turn of the twentieth century, McTeague chronicles the demise of a charlatan and his wife as they descend into a web of moral corruption. A literary sensation when first published in 1899, Frank Norris' cult classic was one of the earliest works in American literature to present a compelling, realistic view of human nature at its most basic level. It was also the the basis for Erich von Stroheim's groundbreaking 1924 silent film, Greed. A riveting tale of avarice, degeneration, and death, McTeague is \"one of the great works of the modern American imagination\" (Alfred Kazin).","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44458848059489,"sku":"9780486143187","price":3.75,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_8e52adcb-8224-4b7a-a4c7-173c1a21b9de.jpg?v=1778568427","url":"https:\/\/ebooks.aafaqeducation.com\/products\/mcteague","provider":"ebook.aafaqeducation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
