{"product_id":"the-cry","title":"The Cry","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnderlying the whole of Maniam's opus is his concern with a fundamental human need, that is, the need of an individual to have a spiritual centre. This is especially important for Malaysians who live in a state which rose from its origins in British colonial capitalist exploitation. This concern may be traced in the writing, most clearly in his fiction from \u003cem\u003eHaunting the Tiger\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eBetween Lives\u003c\/em\u003e. It progresses from the rejection of a sterile urban lifestyle after one has broken free from abject poverty to a search for belonging and bonding with the land, and ultimately and more ambitiously, to spiritual unity with the land and all its people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAYA PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46163396624541,"sku":"9789832737735","price":60.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7575\/1837\/files\/The_Cry_k_s_maniam_9789832737735.png?v=1731481888","url":"https:\/\/mphonline.com\/products\/the-cry","provider":"MPHOnline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
