ISBN: 9780810113558 / Angielski / Twarda / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mikhail Osipovich Gershenzon, philosopher, journalist, and scholar, was one of the most original and eccentric Pushkinists of Russia's Silver Age.

As Gershenzon's work mirrors both significant and hidden aspects of the Pushkin scholarship of his...
