{"product_id":"the-helmet-of-horror","title":"Victor Pelevin: The Helmet Of Horror [2006] paperback","description":"Labyrinth 1 is an intricate structure of intercommunicating passages, through which it is difficult to find one's way without a clue; a maze. They have never met, they have been assigned strange pseudonyms, they inhabit identical rooms, which open out onto very different landscapes, and they have entered into a dialogue, which they cannot escape - a discourse defined and destroyed by the \"Helmet of Horror\". Its wearer is the dominant force they call Asterisk, a force for good and ill in which the Minotaur is forever present and Theseus is the great unknown. Victor Pelevin has created a mesmerising world where the surreal and the hyperreal collide. \"The Helmet of Horror\" is structured according to the Internet exchanges of the twenty-first century, yet instilled with the figures and narratives of classical mythology. It is a labyrinthine examination of epistemological uncertainty that radically reinvents the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur for an age where information is abundant but knowledge is ultimately unattainable.","brand":"Pelevin, Victor \u0026 Bromfield, Andrew","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48834837184851,"sku":"XV81841957685","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/pelevin-victor-bromfield-andrew-the-helmet-of-horror-xv81841957685-56671849611603.jpg?v=1718139007","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/the-helmet-of-horror","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
