{"product_id":"9781408711156","title":"Prague Spring","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's the summer of 1968, the year of love and hate, of Prague Spring and Cold War winter. Two English students, Ellie and James, set off to hitch-hike across Europe with no particular aim in mind but a continent, and themselves, to discover. Somewhere in southern Germany they decide, on a whim, to visit Czechoslovakia where Alexander Dubcek's 'socialism with a human face' is smiling on the world. Meanwhile Sam Wareham, a first secretary at the British embassy in Prague, is observing developments in the country with a mixture of diplomatic cynicism and a young man's passion. In the company of Czech student Lenka Konecková, he finds a way into the world of Czechoslovak youth, its hopes and its ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Simon+Mawer\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eSimon Mawer\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Mawer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376664133795,"sku":"9781408711156","price":325.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781408711156_0e3a387f-0573-479a-8148-e8ec8881bb4e.jpg?v=1776528051","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781408711156","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
