It investigates the extent to which notions of profit, efficiency and utility inform the "Torquemada" series by being juxtaposed with contemporary ideas on economic waste, inefficiency and loss, providing new insights into and a better understanding of the series.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Iberian and Latin American StudiesRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
