ISBN: 9780195328493 / Angielski / Twarda / 704 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780810855243 / Angielski / Twarda / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although relatively small, the northern countries of Scandinavia have made a disproportionately large contribution to world cinema.

Cinematic Homecomings expands upon existing studies of transnational... The history of cinema charts multiple histories of exile.
