Possession
ISBN: 9780679735908 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. National Bestseller
Winner of England's Booker Prize and the literary sensation of the year, Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once an intellectual mystery and triumphant love story.

As they uncover their letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire--from spiritualist seances to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany--what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas. An exhilarating novel of wit and... National Bestseller
