{"product_id":"the-tama-river-9780692284322","title":"The Tama River","description":"This coming-of-age story is set in post-World-War-II occupied Japan, a time of extreme culture shock. The protagonist is a sixth-grader, a young artist whose classmates tease him incessantly because he is overweight. In self-preservation, he becomes a bully. His loneliness is palpable until he befriends two newly arrived students at his school, a Korean boy--an ethnic outsider in Japan--and a delicate young Japanese girl, Harumi. Through the intervention of one special teacher, and his friendship with Harumi, he comes to learn the meaning of love and the joy which comes from giving of oneself. Although this beautiful story comes from a unique time and place in history, its themes are universal and very contemporary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nobu Fukui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ttr Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692284322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author, Nobu Fukui is an artist who has been living and working in New York City since 1963.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ttr Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40660624670835,"sku":"9.78069E+12","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_75165bd7-ef89-4049-b5f1-c840c9e48612.jpg?v=1673446573","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-tama-river-9780692284322","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
