Why Poetry Matters
ISBN: 9780300144567 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Poetry doesn't matter to most people, observes Jay Parini at the opening of this book.

Gore Vidal: Writer Against the Grain
ISBN: 9780231072083 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Gore Vidal, known for such best-sellers as The City and the Pillar, Burr, Lincoln, and Myra Breckinridge, is a household name.

This is partly owing to the vast scope of his writings, which include more than twenty novels, half a dozen plays, dozens of screenplays, countless essays and book reviews,...
