ISBN: 9781843843627 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781843846871 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An interdisciplinary and trans-historical investigation of the representation of ethics in Arthurian Literature.
