The Sea, the Sea; A Severed Head: Introduction by Sarah Churchwell
ISBN: 9781101907665 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 696 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

A Severed Head (1961) is one of Iris Murdoch's most entertaining works, tracing the turbulent emotional journey of Martin Lynch-Gibbon, a smug, prosperous London wine merchant and unfaithful husband, whose life is turned inside out when his wife leaves him for her psychoanalyst. The story takes bedroom farce to a new level of sophistication, with scenes that are both wickedly funny and emblematic of the way...

The Sovereignty of Good
ISBN: 9780415253994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
