Historyczny kontekst, w jakim powstawała książka (niedługo po ataku na World Trade Center), nie pozostał bez wpływu na charakter i temperaturę wywodu.

ISBN: 9780312420130 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1978 Susan Sontag wrote Illness as Metaphor, a classic work described by Newsweek as "one of the most liberating books of its time."

A Susan Sontag Reader
ISBN: 9780374535476 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Susan Sontag occupies a special place in Modern American letters.

The truth of this is perhaps more evident in A Susan Sontag Reader than in any of Sontag's individual books. The writer selected a sampling of her work, meaning the choice both to reflect accurately a career and also to guide the reader toward those...
