{"product_id":"cheese","title":"Cheese","description":"When the ambitious but inept clerk Frans Laarmans is offered a job managing an Edam distribution company in Antwerp, he jumps at the chance, despite his professed dislike for cheese in all its forms. He soon finds himself submerged in a bureaucratic nightmare as his complete incompetence becomes apparent. Meanwhile, his offices fill up with a seemingly infinite supply of the distinctive red-skinned cheeses, which he has no idea how to sell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkewering the pomposity of big business while revealing how an entrepreneurial spirit can often be a mask for buffoonery, Willem Elsschot’s Cheese combines comedy and pathos in its depiction of a man trying to progress beyond his limited skill set. As poignant as it is funny, Cheese will appeal to anyone who has suffered the endless indignities of office life.","brand":"Alma Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56763222524239,"sku":"9781846884160","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781846884160_1-cheese.jpg?v=1770124102","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/cheese","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
