Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile, Volume Eight
ISBN: 9780810115910 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unique among Melville's works, Israel Potter was the author's only historical novel, presuming to offer the life history of Revolutionary War figure Israel Potter--based on Potter's own obscure narrative Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel R. Potter--and featuring characters such as Benjamin Franklin and Ethan Allen. In offering the manuscript to his publisher, Melville assured him, "I engage that the story shall contain nothing of any sort to shock the fastidious.

Und dann kommt Bartleby... Über die Berufsgruppe der Kopisten juristischer Dokumente gäbe es viele Anekdoten zu erzählen, und doch wird über die sogenannten Schreiber nie... |

ISBN: 9781535324847 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 780 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
