ISBN: 9780140138986 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) For William Kennedy fans, Albany conjures up a tapestry of great beauty and complexity in which the lives of an Irish American family are woven. Earlier Albany novels, including Ironweed, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, whetted our appetites. Now Very Old Bones treats us to one last look at the odd and turbulent Phelans, circa 1958. Stretching the boundaries of life as the Phelans know it, this powerful work flows back and forth in time, riding on the melody of its language. Its great theme is the promise of redemption for those who seek it.

English Taxation, 1640-1799: An Essay on Policy and Opinion
ISBN: 9780815349600 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work, first published in 1913, deals with the causes which led to the imposition of the various taxes which were levied down to and including the first income tax act (1799).

This work, first published in 1913, deals with the causes which led to the imposition of the various taxes which were levied down to and including ... |
