ISBN: 9781906540814 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Comparison underlies all reading.

Can their failure and success be understood on the same terms? How do the novels' uses of comparison compare to each other? How...

ISBN: 9780823233946 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a book about the ethics of authorship.

The two writers who serve as the main subjects for this work, the German idealist philosopher...
