Jacques Offenbach and the Paris of His Time
ISBN: 9781890951313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Siegfried Kracauer's biography of the composer Jacques Offenbach is a remarkable work of social and cultural history.

Cosmos and Pornografia: Two Novels
ISBN: 9780802151599 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Here are two major works by the famed Polish novelist and dramatist Witold Gombrowicz. The first, Cosmos, a metaphysical thriller, revolves around an absurd investigation. It is set in provincial Poland and narrated by a seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling by turns, and whose voice is dense with the richly palpable description that characterizes Gombrowicz's writing. The second, Pornografia, explores the sinister effect the young can have on the old. To serve their own secret eroticism, two aging intellectuals encourage a young couple to commit murder.
