Written with Winchester’s captivating style and breadth, here are conversations and anecdotes, myths and political analysis, scenery and history—a poignant and colorful record of the lingering beat of what was once the heart of the civilized world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46207695683796,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/2431\/3812\/files\/71PFKMm_l0L._SL1360.jpg?v=1744272876","url":"https:\/\/bluebooks.ae\/products\/outposts","provider":"Blue Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
