{"product_id":"9781788161701","title":"The Warlow Experiment","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe year is 1793 and Herbert Powyss is set on making his name as a scientist. Determined to study the effects of prolonged solitude on another human being, he advertises for someone willing to live in his cellar for seven years in return for a generous financial reward. The only man to apply is John Warlow, a semi-literate farm laborer with a wife and six children to support. Cut off from nature, Warlow soon begins losing his grip on sanity while, above ground, Powys rapidly becomes obsessed with Warlow's wife, Hannah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe experiment, a classic Enlightenment exercise gone more than a little mad, will have unforeseen consequences for all included. In this seductive tale of self-delusion and obsession, Alix Nathan has created an utterly transporting historical novel which is both elegant and unforgettably sinister.\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+Alix+Nathan\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eAlix Nathan\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alix Nathan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377525375139,"sku":"9781788161701","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781788161701_fac97b35-8501-4e3b-92b7-ddd373d0467c.jpg?v=1776594918","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781788161701","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
