ISBN: 9780486207674 / Angielski / Miękka / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ambrose Bierce was one of the strangest phenomena of American letters.

About half of his fiction output consisted of stories of horror and the supernatural, a genre which appealed to his psychic constitution and may have reflected a deep inner torment.
This volume contains 24 of Bierce's best tales of the unknown. Morbid, cynical, eerie, they take you to a... Ambrose Bierce was one of the strangest phenomena of American letters. The adjectives used to describe his writing -- and character -- tend to have a ...
