My Father's Tears: And Other Stories
ISBN: 9780345513809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The Seattle Times called My Father's...

In this sequel to Rabbit, Run, John Updike resumes the spiritual quest of his anxious Everyman, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom.
