What Am I Doing Here?
ISBN: 9780615980188 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When American writer Kathy Flake moved to Britain in 2004, she had no idea she'd fall in love with this beautiful island in the North Atlantic.

She began the blog What Do I Know? in 2005, and has been chronicling her love-hate relationship with England and its peculiarities ever since. What Am I Doing Here? is a collection of...

Shamrocks in the Maples
ISBN: 9781489544889 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a personal monologue written about the times and characters of those who make up my genealogy. It is also an autobiography or, more precisely, a personal memoir. While the genealogy is as complete as I could make it, the autobiographical memoirs are not. Apart from my involvement in Irish affairs, I have limited myself largely to my childhood and very early manhood. The family and personal anecdotes will be found to be variously delightful, sad, humorous or interesting. The book's more serious undercurrent traces the reluctance of my ancestral line to embrace any identification...

Du Bois, that took a pro-Japan stance to articulate the...

This pivotal time in the political life of the country was accompanied by a Jewish renaissance in which Rav Avrohom Chaim played a major role. Overriding their initial planned stay, they planted roots by remaining in the country for 50 years. This allowed the...

Frederick Douglass
ISBN: 9781499147063 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Douglass's fame as an orator has long been secure. His position as the champion of an oppressed race, and at the same time an example of its possibilities, was, in his own...
