ISBN: 9780826348746 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Remarkably, there has never been a biography in English of the enigmatic Claude Levi-Strauss. Drawing on a... When Claude Levi-Strauss passed away in 2009 at age 100, France celebrated the life and contributions of not only a preeminent anthropologist, but one...
