Waterland
ISBN: 9780679739791 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Swift tells his tale with wonderful contemporary verve and verbal felicity.... A fine and original work."--"Los Angeles Times" Set in the bleak Fen Country of East Anglia, and spanning some 240 years in the lives of its haunted narrator and his ancestors, Waterland is a book t...
