Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Henri de Regnier (1864-1936) was by far the most prolific and the most popular of the Symbolist writers.

ISBN: 9781612270098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The undisputed masterpiece of Gabriel de Lautrec (1867-1938), THE VENGEANCE OF THE OVAL PORTRAIT, which borrows its title from Edgar Allan Poe, is a collection of 28 stories at the crossroads of horror, fantasy and science fiction. Its singular inspiration owes as much to the author's predilection for dark humor, Grand Guignol and the mixing of genres, as it does to the influence of alcohol and hashish, which he used regularly. De Lautrec was a disciple of Alphonse Allais and the winner of the 1920 Humorists' Award. While he hid behind a smiling mask, his troubled personality is on display in...
