{"product_id":"9780856683039","title":"Terence: the Self-Tormentor (Aris \u0026 Phillips Classical Texts)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Self-Tormentor is the most neglected of Terence's six comedies, no full scale edition having appeared in England since the end of the last century; yet it is in many ways the author's most exciting play. The plot, of the 'double' type favoured by Terence, is fast-moving, complicated and full of intrigues masterminded by the ever-optimistic Syrus, who provides one of the best examples of the 'cunning slave' of Roman comedy. The presence of the two old men, one the self-tormentor of the title, the two sons and the sons' romantic attachments provides a contrast and variety in characterisation which show Terence's perceptive treatment at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aris \u0026 Phillips Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48673893286123,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":108.02,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780856683039-1.jpg?v=1781644202","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780856683039","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
