On Living Through Soviet Russia
ISBN: 9780415309660 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For a period of over seventy years after the 1917 revolutions in Russia, talking about the past, either political or personal, became dangerous.

ISBN: 9781843840312 / Angielski / Twarda / 710 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

A complex character who - whirled us...in a tornado of lies-, he could nevertheless sell pictures, negotiate with mercurial buyers and tolerate Rossetti's peremptory ways. We are fortunate, too, in having Rossetti's letters to...
