ISBN: 9780786423910 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Central to the themes...

The social arrangements and technologies for achieving this transmission thus have had a particularly powerful impact on the imagination of literature as a medium. The book has three parts. The first part reconstructs the postal conditions of classic and Romantic literature: the invention of...

ISBN: 9780807132722 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
