Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. John Guerin (illustrator). Neuware - Toward the close of the last century, the poetry of the Spanish-speaking world was pallid, feeble, almost a corpse.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Gideon Lincecum's lifetime the United States expanded from fifteen to thirty-eight states-and Lincecum moved always with or ahead of that expansion. Possessed of a driving intellectual curiosity undeterred by lack of formal education, Lincecum examined all he confronted.
