Across an Inland Sea: Writing in Place from Buffalo to Berlin
ISBN: 9780691113654 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How do the places we live in and visit shape our lives and memories? What does it mean to reside in different locations across the span of a life?
