O Lovely Glowworm
ISBN: 9780881452907 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. O LOVELY GLOWWORM is about the history of the world as perceived by a stuffed goat who remembers his life from his perch at the edge of a domestic trash heap behind a derelict cottage in rural Ireland, circa1918. It's an exploration of consciousness through a lens as myopic as Mr. Magoo's, as slapstick as the Three Stooges, as intelligently raucous as the Marx Brothers, and as lyrical as the yearning Irish tenor of John McCormack. "It's about how very small in the end we are - that seen in regard to the whole huge universe, we and our struggles are so endearingly pathetic it's laughable."...
