Autor Roland Paulsenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2024

Recenzii
“Paulsen’s book is a fascinating and penetrating analysis of our late-modern anxieties when we are confronted with the basic uncontrollability of the world – and a passionate plea for regaining a robust trust in life that does not depend on control and domination.”
