This is what happened with the rumour about a human sausage factory after the Second World War. In Tartu, Estonia, this rumour obtained a symbolic meaning and power due to the politics of the totalitarian Soviet regime. The memories of the post-war period are still vivid in the collective mind, and the onetime rumour of sausage factories incorporates the population's tensions, pain, loss, choices, defiance and...

ISBN: 9780521833721 / Angielski / Twarda / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
