Over the ensuing hours host and guest will fight a duel of words and silences, accusations and evasions. They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the General’s beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game was taken but during which something was lost forever. Embers is a classic of modern European literature, a work whose poignant evocation of the past also seems like a prophetic glimpse into the moral abyss of the present\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sándor Márai, Carol Brown Janeway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871390650537,"sku":"9780375707421","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9780375707421.jpg?v=1773465038","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/embers-vintage-international","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
