The Sabres of Paradise: Conquest and Vengeance in the Caucasus
ISBN: 9780993092725 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

THE GUARDIAN: Crammed with truly fabulous stories of fighting and love and violent death . . . this profound and exhilarating book turns the struggle of the people of the Caucasus to remain independent of Russia into a universal saga . . . it is no wonder Shamyl had such a powerful influence on Tolstoy and Pushkin. Biography...
