{"product_id":"solitude-1","title":"Solitude","description":"Some people long to find it, others long to escape it. But,\nwhether we welcome or dread it, solitude is something we all\nexperience in different forms at different points in our lives.\nAfter enduring nearly five years of solitary confinement, in\ncruel and terrifying conditions, Terry Waite discovered that\nhe was drawn to find out more about the power of solitude\nin the lives of other people. The result is this haunting book,\nin which he recalls his encounters with people who have\nexperienced some very different ways of being solitary:\namong them the peaceful solitude of remote and beautiful\nplaces; the unsought and often unnoticed solitude of lonely\npeople living in the midst of busy cities; the deceptive\nsolitude of those living in the twilight world of espionage; the\nenforced solitude of the convict and the prisoner of war; and\nfinally the inescapable solitude of those who are drawing near\nto death.\nThrough all these encounters, and through the memories\nand reflections they trigger in the author’s mind, we see how\nsolitude shapes the human soul – and how it can be a force\nfor good in our own lives, if we can only learn to use it well.","brand":"Terry Waite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283044942200,"sku":"9780281078813","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9351\/9316\/files\/10039620_LRG.jpg?v=1758331295","url":"https:\/\/etcevents.co.uk\/products\/solitude-1","provider":"ETCEvents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
