ISBN: 9780765803856 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Revolutions are melancholy moments in history--brief gasps of hope that emerges from misery and disillusionment.

Billington is interested in revolutionaries--the innovative creators of a new tradition. His... This book traces the origins of a faith--perhaps the faith of the century.
