{"product_id":"book-1zkv","title":"A Relic Of The Pliocene","description":"A thousand miles beyond the nearest outpost, deep in the far north, an isolated prospector gets an unexpected visitor: a stranger named Thomas Stevens, looking for tobacco and a place by the fire. Before the night is out, Stevens has told him why he is really there, recounting how his dog and her newborn litter were trampled by a bull mammoth thirty feet long, and how he set out after the animal with nothing but a hand-axe (and taken half his store of very fine tobacco).\u003cbr\u003eWhat follows is Stevens's account of a months-long pursuit through a hidden maze of valleys, won by patience, fury, and a refusal to let the beast ever rest. He returns from the hunt with a pair of boots cut from its hide, and a story that the narrator, hedging carefully throughout, is not quite willing to either believe or deny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJack London's \"A Relic of the Pliocene\" is a tall tale told with a straight face, a piece of frontier mythmaking from the author of White Fang, The Call of the Wild, and many other foundational frontier tales.","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67234631975216,"sku":"BD1zkv","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1zkv-Square-cover.jpg?v=1782937668","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1zkv","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
