More than many other novelists, his work is a reflection of the social and economic reality of life in a post-industrial society. Houellebecq shows a world of violence and tension, a world where people find it...

The deft deployment of current French feminist...

Hélène Cixous and the Theatre: The Scene of Writing
ISBN: 9783906766201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.
