Wells in 1901 to make predictions about the future, especially concerning technological and scientific progress.

ISBN: 9781412865616 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to Robert Brustein, the theater should be taken seriously as one of the fine arts, but it should also be considered a means to reflect on our world, times, and culture from a different perspective. However, this presents a great challenge--the masses must come to appreciate the theater as a means of leisure, but also one of learning. If Word Plays tickles your funny bone as well as touches your mind, then Brustein will have achieved his goal. Word Plays, a collection of Brustein's articles, satires, and skits, is his attempt to both entertain and educate...

Wells proposes to "provide the first tentatives of a political doctrine that shall be equally...
