Telling Stories : A Theoretical Analysis of Narrative Fiction
ISBN: 9780415013871 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

They call for a critical practice that, through the fracturing of texts, can alter the grounds of knowledge and interpretation. This study should interest critics of narrative and culture, as well as students wanting to extend...
