Screening the Novel: The Theory and Practice of Literary Dramatization
ISBN: 9780333457931 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book takes as its theme the relationship between literature and the contemporary means of production and distribution collectively termed 'the media' - in particular, film and television.
