ISBN: 9780802035424 / Angielski / Twarda / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

As described by Michael Dolzani, Frye's ambition for the 'Third Book' was for it to become no less than a "symbolic guide to the entire universe." The work he envisioned contemplated the ways in which myth and metaphor are the keys to all verbal structures: how they reach beyond the hypothetical realm of literature to inform, organize, and...
