{"product_id":"9780007464326-secondhand-the-stonehenge-letters","title":"The Stonehenge Letters","description":"A remarkable new novel from the Wellcome Trust longlisted author.   While digging through the Nobel Archives in Stockholm, trying to figure out why his hero, Sigmund Freud, never received a Nobel Prize, a psychiatrist makes an unusual discovery. Among the unsolicited self-nominations in the museum's `Crackpot' file there are six letters addressed to Mr Ragnar Sohlman, executor of Alfred Nobel's will. Remarkably, all but one has been written by a Nobel laureate - including Rudyard Kipling, Ivan Pavlov, Teddy Roosevelt and Marie Curie. Each letter attempts to explain why and how Stonehenge was constructed. Diligent research eventually uncovers that Alfred Nobel, intrigued by a young woman's obsession with the mysterious landmark, added a secret codicil to his will: A prize - reserved exclusively for Nobel laureates - was to be awarded to the person who can solve the mystery of Stonehenge. Weaving together a wealth of primary documents - photos, letters, wills - The Stonehenge Letters is a wryly documented archive of a fascinating covert competition, complete with strange but illuminating submissions and a contentious prize-awarding process. But is this fact or is this fiction?","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48737418412251,"sku":"9780007464326-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6f654f62-c616-43fd-89b8-2af68580f977.jpg?v=1777741520","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780007464326-secondhand-the-stonehenge-letters","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
