Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The history of the Latvian people begins some four and a half millennia ago with the arrival of the proto-Baltic Indo-Europeans to northern Europe. One branch of these migrants coalesced into a community which evolved a distinctive and remarkably robust culture and language, and which eventually developed into a loose federation of tribal kingdoms that stretched from the shores of the Baltic sea to the upper Dniepr river.

Apocalypse and the Writings on Revelation
ISBN: 9780521007061 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Apocalypse is D. H. Lawrence's last book, written during the winter of 1929 30 when he was dying. It is a radical criticism of our civilisation and a statement of Lawrence's unwavering belief in man's power to create 'a new heaven and a new earth'. Ranging over the entire system of his thought on God and man, on religion, art, psychology and politics, this book is Lawrence's final attempt to convey his vision of man and the universe. Apocalypse was published after Lawrence's death, and in a highly inaccurate text. This edition is the first to reproduce accurately Lawrence's final corrected...

Aaron's Rod
ISBN: 9780521272469 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written in the years following World War I and set in postwar England and Italy, Aaron's Rod questions many of the accepted social and political institutions of Lawrence's generation, and raises issues as valid for our own time as they were for his. The novel's hero is an Everyman who flees the destruction in England and his failing marriage and who, like Lawrence himself, becomes absorbed in discovering and understanding the nature of the political and religious ideologies that shaped western civilization. Aaron's Rod was completed in 1921 and was censored by both Lawrence's American and...
