ISBN: 9781535386494 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde.

Contemporary reviews all praised the play's humour, though some were cautious about its explicit lack...
