I just don't want him to have me.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMartina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngagement, set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world's future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48658349818091,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":60.27,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780241688120-1.jpg?v=1785767392","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780241688120","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
