In the South Seas Hb
ISBN: 9780710308085 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the story of Stevenson's Pacific travels on the Casco and the Equator. It is a beautifully observed account of island peoples and their life; it is also the story of the beginning of his love affair with the Pacific, and of his growing commitment to the island cause. In the South Seas has been described as the most solid of Stevenson's general writings; it is certainly his least known book as well as a unique gem of Pacific literature, and richly deserves to be rediscovered.

The Palace of Nestor at Pylos in Western Messenia, Vol. 1: The Buildings and Their Contents
ISBN: 9780691650265 / Angielski / Twarda / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Homer's King Nestor of "sandy Pylas" passes from legend into history in this first volume of the report of excavations on a hill called Englianos in Messenia, conducted by the Archaeological Expedition of the University of Cincinnati.

Destroyed by fire at the end of the 13th century B.C.,...
