Alchymic Journals
ISBN: 9781593760762 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Capturing the spirit of arcane writing, Evan S.

Each employs a unique personality and point of view in a world of pre-scientific thought, of the western world about to step into modernity. Though this historical recreation is medieval in style, Connell succeeds in infusing his diarists with alchemic wisdom, ancient appeal, and...
