In the midst of the terrors of the Inquisition and the plague, a seemingly mismatched couple discover the wonders of love. This poetic tale, graced with exquisite historical details and full of magic and adventure, is a tapestry of human folly and human will.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"HarperVia","offers":[{"title":"Baltasar and Blimunda | José Saramago | Paperback | 9780156005203 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1738566","offer_id":50892596281602,"sku":"1738566","price":23.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61g5lJFU8eL_dae1b234-b098-4469-a7bf-e5e015f1986c.jpg?v=1793132287","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/baltasar-and-blimunda-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
