The Conjure Woman
ISBN: 9781492772521 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. SOME years ago my wife was in poor health, and our family doctor, in whose skill and honesty I had implicit confidence, advised a change of climate. I shared, from an unprofessional standpoint, his opinion that the raw winds, the chill rains, and the violent changes of temperature that characterized the winters in the region of the Great Lakes tended to aggravate my wife's difficulty, and would undoubtedly shorten her life if she remained exposed to them. The doctor's advice was that we seek, not a temporary place of sojourn, but a permanent residence, in a warmer and more equable climate. I...

Eric Walrond: A Life in the Harlem Renaissance and the Transatlantic Caribbean
ISBN: 9780231157841 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

James Davis follows Walrond from the West Indies to Panama, New York, France,...
