Leonard Woolf: A Biography
ISBN: 9781582434117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This meticulously researched and compassionately rendered portrait of Leonard Woolf, the "dark star" of Bloomsbury, is the first to capture his troubled relationship with his wife, his own intellect, and the tumultuous world of artists and eccentrics around him.
