{"product_id":"bleak-house-1","title":"Bleak House","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003eBleak House is a novel by Charles Dickens, published in 20 monthly installments between March 1852 and September 1853. It is held to be one of Dickens's finest novels, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the novel's core is long-running litigation in England's Court of Chancery, Jarndyce v Jarndyce, which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. The litigation, which already has taken many years and consumed between £60,000 and £70,000 in court costs, is emblematic of the failure of Chancery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough Chancery lawyers and judges criticised Dickens's portrait of Chancery as exaggerated and unmerited, his novel helped to spur an ongoing movement that culminated in the enactment of legal reform in the 1870s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this copy has some creases and fading on the spine, creases on the cover and heavy wear on the covers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eISBN: \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003e9781853260827 \u003cspan class=\"Text Text__subdued\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSize: \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, 800 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublisher: \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003eWordsworth \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublished: 1999\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C - Well Read","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47663489482908,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/1597\/0972\/files\/bleak.jpg?v=1790056562","url":"https:\/\/booksforless.co.nz\/products\/bleak-house-1","provider":"Books For Less","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
