Passage To Juneau
ISBN: 9780330346290 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The Inside Passage to Alaska, with its outer fringes and entailments, is a very complicated sea-route.

Its aboriginal past - still tantalizingly close to hand - puts the inside passaged on terms of close kinship with the ancient sea of the Phoenicians and the Greeks. This book is much more than a book about a sea voyage; it is about Jonathan Raban's journey home to his father who is dying; about his crumbling relationship with his wife and also about the...
