ISBN: 9780754660996 / Angielski / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Wagner and the Erotic Impulse
ISBN: 9780674064294 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Daring to represent erotic stimulation, passionate ecstasy, and the torment of sexual desire, Wagner sparked intense reactions from figures like Baudelaire, Clara...
