ISBN: 9780199217496 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The Arena of Satire, 52: Juvenal's Search for Rome
ISBN: 9780806151564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this first comprehensive reading of Juvenal s satires in more than fifty years, David H. J. Larmour deftly revises and sharpens our understanding of the second-century Roman writer who stands as the archetype for all later practitioners of the satirist s art. The enduring attraction of Juvenal s satires is twofold: they not only introduce the character of the angry satirist but also offer vivid descriptions of everyday life in Rome at the height of the Empire. In Larmour s interpretation, these two elements are inextricably linked. The Arena of Satire presents the satirist...

Russian Literature and the Classics
ISBN: 9783718606054 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Russian Literature and the Classics attempts to fill a gap. To date there has been no book-length, systematic study of the impact of antiquity on Russian literature and culture.

In...
