The Cambridge Companion to Kate Chopin
ISBN: 9780521883443 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although she enjoyed only modest success during her lifetime, Kate Chopin is now recognised as a unique voice in American literature.

The essays in this...
