Isbn: 9781564786326 - explosion of the radiator hose: a novel (18 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In this nominally true story of an epic, transcontinental road trip, Jean Rolin travels to Africa from darkest France, accompanying a battered Audi to its new life as a taxi to be operated by the family of a Congolese security guard.
