A Whole New Life: An Illness and a Healing
ISBN: 9780743238540 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Reynolds Price has long been one of America's most acclaimed and accomplished men of letters -- the author of novels, stories, poems, essays, plays, and a memoir. In A Whole New Life, however, he steps from behind that roster of achievements to present us with a more personal story, a narrative as intimate and compelling as any work of the imagination.

Here, for the first time, Price recounts without self-pity what became a long...
