Mistrzowie. Spotkania z twórcami
ISBN: 9788378664000 / Polski / broszurowa / 2021 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Bardzo jestem do tej książki przywiązany, często do niej wracam.

Książka Rotha to opowieść o pokrewieństwie dusz, wdzięczności i poczuciu wspólnej misji. Jej...
