Shakespeare LP
ISBN: 9780061363917 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself.

With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson--the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent--brilliantly explores the remarkable hi... |
