{"product_id":"engagement","title":"Engagement","description":"A feminist cult classic about love, independence and what it means to be an individual, translated into English for the first time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'I want to have him, I really do. I just don't want him to have me.'\u003c\/i\u003eMartina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what \u003ci\u003eis \u003c\/i\u003ecoupledom? 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.\u003ci\u003eEngagement\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, \u003ci\u003eEngagement\u003c\/i\u003e remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57582520598854,"sku":"9780241688137","price":15.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/f825c66eaf0905cfe8bc28e882b58b6aaae6207d0642f2d9c4916d1d6305aea9.jpg?v=1791816836","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/engagement","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
