Through the Day, Through the Night: A Flemish Belgian Boyhood and World War II
ISBN: 9780299299941 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of twelve children in a close-knit, affluent Catholic Belgian family, Jan Vansina began life in a seemingly sheltered environment. But that cocoon was soon pierced by the escalating tensions and violence that gripped Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.
