Elias Canetti's Counter-Image of Society: Crowds, Power, Transformation
ISBN: 9781571131607 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Scoring of Baroque Concertos
ISBN: 9781843830719 / Angielski / Twarda / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
