ISBN: 9780742555679 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking study offers a genuinely multidisciplinary exploration of cultural influences on foreign policy.

The author argues that these...

The tale of the bathtub sailor: A dangerous encounter with the darkest side of the Caribbean

With an insatiable yearning to escape the mundane existence of his marriage and the dreary prospect of a working class life of factory employment, and servitude, Bill Smith's wayward passion would lead him to brutal incarceration, near death, and sexual experiences far more challenging than crossing the ocean in a bathtub. The idea of building a boat not much bigger than a bathtub and sailing it alone across the oceans of the world, would stretch most people's bounds of bravery and insanity beyond their limits, but recent history is littered with a number of such characters who have done...

Gentry Life in Georgian Ireland: The Letters of Edmund Spencer (1711-1790): The Letters of Edmund Spencer (1711-1790)
ISBN: 9781910887141 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Parental profligacy and the dishonesty of his guardian meant that when Edmund Spencer came of age in 1732 he inherited only a fragment of the estates that his great-great-grandfather, the Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser, had amassed in Ireland. To keep himself and his family in a manner appropriate to their status Spencer had to find an income. His plan to publish the collected works of his ancestor foundered on the unrest caused by the 1745 Jacobite rebellion; posts in the army and the revenue proved just as elusive. In this collection of 120 letters, written to relatives in Wales,...
