ISBN: 9781560003618 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Culture of Its Own: Taking Latin America Seriously presents Mark Falcoff's essays on the region. Many of them are contentious; none of them are dull. He ranges from bilingualism to the cult of Garcia Lorca, from U.S.-Cuban relations to Chile's curious love affair with Germany.

A Season in Utopia
ISBN: 9781483905501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
