{"product_id":"9781785075988","title":"Circumstances of Departure","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a life-time's teaching Classics to the Upper-Sixth, at a very minor Boy's Public School in Oxfordshire, the last of the 'DWEMs', as he likes to describe himself, believes that he is fighting a rear-guard action, defending and guarding a diminishing mythopoetic world view  on which his own personal values, and those of Western Civilisation are built. And which are being cruelly tested, to breaking-point when he is called to 'support' one of his own 'favourite' ex-students who has been arrested for 'Terrorist Activities'. It is this, above all else which becomes the Circumstances of Departure; his own and of others, in one way or another. (DWEM was coined by Bernard Knox, to describe Classicists as a species: Dead White European Males.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Generation Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48787439845611,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.11,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781785075988-1.jpg?v=1781703155","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781785075988","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
