{"product_id":"the-honey","title":"The Honey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRenowned for his collaborations with Tarkovsky, Fellini, and Antonioni, poet and screenwriter Tonino Guerra sets his story of two aging brothers in a surreal landscape shaped by memories of a vanishing rural world.\u003c\/strong\u003e Drawing on dialect from the Emilia-Romagna region and images from his childhood, Guerra paints a world of sacred bridges and weird locals, odd weather and ghostly animals, lonely hens and glasses brimming with rainwater. Guerra’s poetry went hand-in-hand with his screenwriting and, in his later career, the two began to fuse, reaching an apotheosis in his collaboration with Andrei Tarkovsky on the film \u003cem\u003eNostalghia\u003c\/em\u003e. During production, the poet and director travelled throughout Italy, discussing art, literature, and cinema. These two great artists formed a deep intellectual and creative connection, a bond which mirrors that of the brothers in \u003cem\u003eThe Honey\u003c\/em\u003e. Originally published in 1982, it is only the second of Guerra’s poetic works to appear in English translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Honey\u003c\/em\u003e is a book that becomes more beautiful with each passing year. \u003cstrong\u003e—Italo Calvino\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asterism","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68676935090419,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8783\/5037\/files\/thehoney.jpg?v=1794087681","url":"https:\/\/postcardbookshop.com\/products\/the-honey","provider":"Postcard Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
