ISBN: 9780198755784 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Rise of the Memoir traces the growth and extraordinarily wide appeal of the memoir.

Alex Zwerdling explores why each of these writers felt compelled to write them as that story can be reconstructed from personal materials available in...

Therefore, a balance must be achieved, raising difficult tradeoffs for policy-makers. This volume marks a departure from studies of ethnic conflict and civil war...
