Three young people seek relief from the suffocating repression and brutality of the Dictatorship by joining an ancient festival in the island of K----. They find instead that the war has followed them and that the festival is but a metaphor for an entire society and culture in conflict. The three find distinct destinies of death, liberation, affirmation and ultimately, salvation. This book is now considered a classic of Philippine literature. \" - Excerpts from the publisher's website.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat Paperback | 366 pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions 140 x 216 x 21mm | 463g\u003cbr\u003ePublication date 02 Dec 2013\u003cbr\u003ePublisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003eLanguage English\u003cbr\u003eISBN10 149444222-1\u003cbr\u003eISBN13 978-14-9-444222-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ W W Norton \u0026amp; Co Inc; First Edition (January 1, 1988)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ 382 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0393025446\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0393025446\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.73 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 5 x 0.98 x 7.99 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45261616906406,"sku":"","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":45392089579686,"sku":"","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/918TtzdmugL._SL1406.jpg?v=1714255386"},{"product_id":"twice-blessed-a-novel-by-ninotchka-rosca","title":"Twice Blessed: A Novel by Ninotchka Rosca","description":"“Devastating political satire by a fine writer …” —Andrea Dworkin The story of the Basbas fraternal twins as they burrow into the integument of power in Philippine politics, their rise accompanied by catastrophes big and small, to themselves, to the people around them and to the nation they aspire to dominate. A brilliant roman a clef, fast but lyrical, conferring a mythic dimension on even the banal and the putrid, as only the wondrous prose of Ninotchka Rosca can. Like most of her works, Twice Blessed is a narrative palimpsest, with an older timeless way of life glimmering through the words and events of the Basbas twins’ contemporary tale.\" - Excerpts from the publisher's website.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Philippine import.
