In these sensitive and accurate versions by acclaimed translator Anthony Mortimer, Meyer's achievement is available to anglophone readers for the first time.","brand":"Alma Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47772854419607,"sku":"9781847495266","price":1120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781847495266.webp?v=1777976287","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/footprints-poems-selected-and-translated-by-anthony-mortimer-dual-language-edition-9781847495266","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
