Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This book examines the works of American writers in Paris and explores the evolving interactions between these writers and French society from the 1800s to the present. It reveals a deepened understanding and an increased acceptance of different traditions and values, and shows a considerable cultural complexity, reflecting not only a transcontinental but also a global vision in the literature of these writers in the context of the City of Light.
