ISBN: 9781573921732 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The classic novel The Ecstasy of Owen Muir is the story of what happens in 1940s America when an idealistically, fiercely honest young man, with no strong religious affiliation, marries a Roman Catholic woman. In this brilliantly comic and pungent tale, Lardner dissects the thought control of the McCarthy era, business ethics, racial intolerance, attitudes toward sex, the Manhattan nightclub set, judicial procedures, and other social phenomenon.

You Know ME Al: A Busher's Letters
ISBN: 9780020223429 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "You Know me Al" is a classic of baseball--the game and the community. Jack Keefe, one of literature's greatest characters, is talented, brash, and conceited. Self-assured and imperceptive, impervious to both advice and sarcasm, Keefe rises to the heights, but his inability to learn makes for his undoing. Through a series of letters from this bush-league pitcher to his not-quite-anonymous friend Al, Lardner maintains a balance between the funny and the moving, the pathetic and the glorious.
