{"product_id":"1529833","title":"Voyage of the Narwhal: A Novel","description":"397 pp. Map illustrated endpapers. \"Capturing a crucial moment in the history of exploration, the mid-nineteenth-century romance with the Arctic, Andrea Barrett focuses on a particular expedition and its accompanying scholar-naturalist, Erasmus Darwin Wells. Through his eyes, we meet the Narwhal's crew and its commander--obsessed with the search for an open polar sea--and encounter the far-north culture of the Esquimaux. In counterpoint, we see the women left behind in Philadelphia, explorers only in imagination. Together, those who travel and those who stay weave a web of myth and mystery. And finally they discover--as all explorers do--not what was always there and never needed discovering, but the state of their own souls.\"\r\n","brand":"Norton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12594875760710,"sku":"1529833","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/1529833","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
