ISBN: 9780198754473 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is the public value of poetry? How do poets envisage their own role and function within society? How do we? Do poets seek to shape public opinion and behavior? Should they?

The Fables of Reason: A Study of Voltaire's Contes Philosophiques
ISBN: 9780198158806 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.
