It departs from the realism of the author's best-known works.

In fact, Seraphita is an androgyne, the perfect example of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 21, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47237343346937,"sku":"9780988202672","price":24.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ODNNZFpsK2FlSlhFVlMxM3hLYUdWdz09.webp?v=1768539382","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/louis-lambert-the-exiles-seraphita-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
