{"product_id":"rupert-brooke-life-death-and-myth","title":"Rupert Brooke: Life, Death and Myth","description":"A revised edition of the candid, sometimes shocking, biography of Rupert Brooke revealing the very different reality behind the golden-boy façade of an English literary icon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParagon of youthful beauty, romantic symbol of a lost England, and precociously gifted poet, Rupert Chawner Brooke died in a hospital ship off the Aegean island of Skyros in April 1915, aged just 27. All England mourned his passing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut behind the glow of myth lies a darker reality. At the height of his promise a disappointment in love triggered a mental and physical collapse that brought his inner complexities to the surface. Letters reveal a man who was bisexual, misogynistic, anti-Semitic - and sometimes alarmingly unstable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis revised edition of Nigel Jones's admired biography, including an account of a previously unknown affair of Brooke's, reveals a more conflicted and troubled individual than the gilded Adonis of English literary myth.","brand":"SAGA Egmont","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40701039902820,"sku":"9788728287262","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/8207\/1652\/files\/9788728287262_1-rupert-brooke-life-death-and-myth.jpg?v=1759503429","url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/rupert-brooke-life-death-and-myth","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
