Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes
ISBN: 9780810160064 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In 1878 Robert Louis Stevenson set out on a walking tour of the Cevennes behind Modestine, the donkey that carried his baggage. The one hundred twenty-mile trip was through difficult country, and Modestine proved to be less than agreeable, too. Although Stevenson's adventure lasted only twelve days, his account suggests a much longer journey, with all sorts of backward glances, detours, and retracing of steps, both on the terrain and in spirit.
Stevenson's third book, "Travels with a Donkey" was originally intended as a lighthearted sketch, a companion-piece to his recent "Inland Voyage....

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Solo Goya: Goya and the Duchess of Alba at Sanlucar is a meticulously researched historical novel about the great Spanish painter Francisco Goya and his most famous patron, the 13th Duchess of Alba.

Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt
ISBN: 9780486425108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Drawing on a wealth of archeological evidence, author Jon Manchip White presents a remarkably accurate picture of Egyptian life throughout dynastic times from the end of the third millennium to the Greek occupation in 330 BC. Because social conditions changed little during these 3,000 years, readers get a clear idea of the roles and tasks assigned to each section of the community to the Pharaoh and his noblemen; priests and soldiers; scribes and artists; and peasants, who formed the bulk of the population. How these people spent their leisure hours, how they dressed, what they ate and drank,...

A World Elsewhere: Life in the American Southwest
ISBN: 9780890963852 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In this lively yet systematic commentary, a Welshman surveys the American Southwest with the steady, perceptive eye of a stranger who has grown to appreciate it. He finds in its history and topography signs that nature still holds its own against the human hand. "One is aware that such immense landscapes must exist--but until one views them for oneself it is impossible to grasp their impressiveness, or experience their liberating quality."
White is equally fascinated with the people who have moved across this spectacular stage and those who inhabit it now. Trained as an anthropologist and...

ISBN: 9780810160224 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) First published in 1915, "Old Calabria" is a comprehensive and exciting account of adventure travel. Captivated by the pagan quality of the "mezzogiorno, "Norman Douglas plunged into Calabria, the southernmost and most backward part of Italy (a province that was still largely devoid of any form of modern amenity). He endured extremes of climate, scaled mountains, rode in carriages driven by villainous coachmen, and traversed remote stretches of country where murderous groups of banditti were known to roam. As Jon Manchip White points out in his introduction, it "makes good reading, but it...
