{"product_id":"mr-standfast-9789357278966","title":"Mr. Standfast","description":"\u003cp\u003eMr. Standfast is the third of five Richard Hannay novels by John Buchan, first published in 1919 by Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton, London. It is one of two Hannay novels set during the First World War, the other being Greenmantle (1916); Hannay's first and best-known adventure, The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915), is set in the period immediately before the war started. The title refers to a character in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, to which there are many other references in the novel; Hannay uses a copy of Pilgrim's Progress to decipher coded messages from his contacts, and letters from his friend Peter Pienaar. During the later years of the First World War Brigadier-General Hannay is recalled from active service on the Western Front to undertake a secret mission hunting for a dangerous German agent at large in Britain. Hannay is required to work undercover disguised as a pacifist, roaming the country incognito to investigate a German spy and his agents, and then heads to the Swiss Alps to save Europe from being overwhelmed by the German army.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Buchan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56489881928022,"sku":"9789357278966","price":92.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9789357278966.jpg?v=1793914134","url":"https:\/\/www.englishbook.pl\/products\/mr-standfast-9789357278966","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
