ISBN: 9783110307603 / Angielski / Twarda / 387 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

D. H. Lawrence and the Art of Translation
ISBN: 9780333285992 / Angielski / Twarda / 101 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of D.H.Lawrence as a translator is concerned particularly with the European Lawrence; a writer in touch with and responding vividly to works of European literature which struck a chord in his own creative sensibility.

Walker contends that the biographical image of Emily Carr that emerges from an accumulation of... What happens when an individual becomes the subject of many and divergent portraits?
