What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Barcellona, XIV secolo. NeI cuore dell'umile quartiere della Ribera gli occhi curiosi del piccolo Arnau sono catturati dalle maestose mura di una grande chiesa in costruzione. Un incontro decisivo, poiché la storia di Santa Maria del Mar sarà il cardine delle tormentate vicende della sua esistenza. Figlio di un servo fuggiasco, nella capitale catalana Arnau trova rifugio e quella sospirata libertà che a tutt'oggi incarna lo spirito di Barcellona, all'epoca in pieno fermento: i vecchi istituti feudali sono al tramonto e mercanti e banchieri in ascesa, sempre più influenti nel determinare le sorti della città, impegnata in aspre battaglie per il controllo dei mari. Intanto l'azione, dell'Inquisizione minaccia la già non facile convivenza fra cristiani, musulmani ed ebrei... Personaggio di inusuale tempra e umanità, Arnau non esita a dedicarsi con entusiasmo al grande progetto della "cattedrale del popolo". E all'ombra di quelle torri gotiche dovrà lottare contro fame, ingiustizie e tradimenti, ataviche barriere religiose, guerre, peste, commerci ignobili e indomabili passioni, ma soprattutto per un amore che i pregiudizi del tempo vorrebbero condannare alle brume del sogno...
