Cane - audiobook
ISBN: 9781624063299 / Angielski / Compact Disc Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

This iconic work of American literature is published with a new afterword by Rudolph Byrd of Emory University and Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard University, who provide groundbreaking biographical information on Toomer, place his...
