ISBN: 9783659219832 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Afterlives of the Saints: Hagiography, Typology, and Renaissance Literature
ISBN: 9780804726436 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The central texts analyzed--Boccaccio's Decameron, Vasari's Lives of the Artists, and Shakespeare's Measure for Measure and The Winter's Tale--all manifest key moments and aspects in the creation of...
