ISBN: 9781442249264 / Angielski / Twarda / 692 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Its influence throughout the world was pervasive: Nikolai Gogol', Anton Chekhov and Maksim Gor'kii remain staples of repertories in every language, the ideas of Konstantin Stanislavskii, Vsevolod Meierkhol'd...
