ISBN: 9781619027312 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This, shaped by the hammer blows of a singular American professor, Richard DeMartino, brought him to Zen, and to Japan. Yet over time, of far greater import than his bungling efforts were the wonderful occupants of the Zen world he encountered: Toyoshima-san, the meditation Prometheus whose superhuman efforts astounded and inspired all while he remained impaled on the...
