{"product_id":"tamas","title":"Tamas","description":"A poignant and politically charged novel about the 1947 Partition, translated by Booker Prize-winning translator Daisy RockwellTamas, Bhisham Sahni’s 1973 novel, is a product of the Partition’s devastation. It drew immediate and universal critical acclaim for its poignant and striking retelling of Partition and its bloody aftermath. Tamas is a story about how simmering communal tensions snowball into full-fledged riots that grip villages across the subcontinent. In a city in undivided Punjab, Nathu, a tanner, is bribed to kill a pig. When the animal’s carcass is discovered on the steps of the local mosque the next morning, brewing tensions explode into riots and massacre. A seemingly well planned and executed job by the British plants seeds of mistrust and hatred among those who, until the day before, had been close friends and neighbours. Tamas is a chilling reminder of the consequences of religious intolerance and communal prejudice.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51519697027419,"sku":"9780143138051","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/tamas","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
