ISBN: 9780810854253 / Angielski / Miękka / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

American boyhood has often been narrowly defined by nineteenth- and twentieth- century canonical texts, such as Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, which represent boyhood as a time of rebellion against society. This book suggests that significant...
