Ancient Rights and Future Comfort: Bihar, the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885, and British Rule in India
ISBN: 9780700706259 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

In particular, the book considers the importance of notions of historical rights and economic progress to the false categorisations made...

W ciągu kilku tysiącleci Sycylia wielokrotnie była sceną okrutnych wojen, cierpienia i przemocy. Ta słoneczna wyspa wraz ze swymi plażami, gajami oliwnymi i zabytkami architektury nieraz pogrążała się w głębokim mroku. Peter Robb, zafascynowany tym pełnym sprzeczności regionem, w którym oszałamiające piękno kontrastuje z brutalnością doskonale zorganizowanych struktur przestępczych, oparł się pokusie mitologizacji Sycylii.
