Sailor Talk: Labor, Utterance, and Meaning in the Works of Melville, Conrad, and London
ISBN: 9781800859654 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780826513823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Based on more than a half-century of research, Herman Melville's Whaling Years is an essential work for Melville scholars.
