{"product_id":"democracy","title":"Democracy","description":"It is 490BC and Athens is at war. Leander, trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow's battle against a far mightier enemy, begins to recount the story of his own life. Having witnessed the evils of the old tyrannical regimes and the rise of a new political system, Leander tells a tale of danger, bravery and big ideas, of the death of gods and the tortuous birth of democracy. Through a series of breathtaking scenes, we see that democracy was forged from chance and historical contingency - but also through the cunning and courage of a group of highly talented, driven individuals. Alecos Papadatos and Annie Di Donna, artists behind the international phenomenon Logicomix, together with writer Abraham Kawa deliver a graphic novel bursting with extraordinary characters and vibrant colour, one that offers fresh insight into how this greatest of civic inventions came to be.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"New - Paperback","offer_id":32686102741077,"sku":"9781408820179N","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781408820179.jpg?v=1598878346","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/democracy","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
