{"product_id":"9781529045260","title":"Paradise","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Tempest has a gift for shattering and transcending convention.' New York TimesPhiloctetes lives in a cave on a desolate island: the wartime hero is now a wounded outcast. Stranded for ten years, he sees a chance of escape when a young soldier appears with tales of Philoctetes' past glories. But with hope comes suspicion - and, as an old enemy emerges, he is faced with an even greater temptation: revenge.   Kae Tempest is now widely acknowledged as a revolutionary force in contemporary British poetry, music and drama; they continue to expand the range of their work with a new version of Sophocles' Philoctetes in a bold new translation. Like Brand New Ancients before it, Paradise shows Tempest's gift for lending the old tales an immediate contemporary relevance - and will find this timeless story a wide new audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41193436381336,"sku":"9781529045260","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9781529045260.jpg?v=1635408284","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781529045260","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
