ISBN: 9781593936778 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In the process, it created cinematic history for its use of locations around New York City (including the then-unfinished World Trade Center) and, at the same time, accomplished the nearly-impossible by taking a small stage show--one that had been originally created as a college thesis--and...

Les Misérables, for musical and movie lovers who have not read Victor Hugo's novel
ISBN: 9783906000183 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is written for those inspired by the musical and movie versions of Les Misérables who have not yet tackled Victor Hugo’s 1200-page masterpiece.

Justice is the supreme god of the fanatical Police Inspector Javert. The second is the conflict between love and egotism. Found within the heart of Jean Valjean himself, it is barely discernable in the Jean Valjean of the musical; but without it, the central character of Hugos novel...

Their movies had their producer despots, their stacking of writing teams on a single project, their use of five or six songs per...
