Genitricksling Joyce
ISBN: 9789042005754 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joyce's methods of composition have only recently begun to be examined in a rigorous fashion. Already the work done on the genesis of Joyce's texts has fostered both new insights and new questions regarding the overall status of his oeuvre.
