Told with poignancy and humor, \u003ci\u003eThe Elephant Keepers' Children\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating exploration of fundamentalism versus spiritual  freedom, the vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and the triumph  of the human spirit.","brand":"Other Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216057397503,"sku":"9781590516355","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781590516355_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588093","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781590516355","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
