ISBN: 9781586170981 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Evelyn Waugh presented his biography of St. Edmund Campion, the Elizabethan poet, scholar and gentleman who became the haunted, trapped and murdered priest as "a simple, perfectly true story of heroism and holiness."

Scoop
ISBN: 9780316216371 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of the Daily Beast, has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner party tip from Mrs. Algernon Stitch, Lord Copper feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. So begins Scoop, Waugh's exuberant comedy of mistaken identity and brilliantly irreverent satire of the hectic pursuit of hot news.
