Poetry of Wole Soyinka
ISBN: 9789780230067 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Here, in a new approach, an academic himself and one of the leading younger generation of African poets, discusses critically the voice and viewpoint of the poet with the object of establishing Soyinka's persona. The book covers the personality and world view...

The poetic canvas links the two figures to other relationships and happenings of their time in an all-embracing manner.
