Jordan County
ISBN: 9780679736165 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Before Shelby Foote under took his epic history of the Civil War, he wrote this fictional chronicle -- "a landscape in narrative" -- of Jordan County, Mississippi, a place where the traumas of slavery, war, and Reconstruction are as tangible as rock formations.

ISBN: 9780878053865 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

In Conversations with Shelby Foote, this novelist-historian expresses penetrating and often humorous remarks about major modern writers as well as about the classical writers of fiction, plays,...
