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.

Short description:
This much needed anthology presents a wide variety of Greek prose texts, chosen to illustrate both development and generic differences, and to stimulate interest in Greek culture generally. Each of the 100 passages has an introduction, and is thoroughly annotated. The extracts range from the fifth century BC to the fifth century AD and include historians (Herodotus, Thucydides); orators (Lysias, Isocrates); philosohers (Plato, Xenophon, Socrates); and writers from the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

BL With Greek texts and English commentary
This anthology fills a gap which has been widely felt. It gives students - at sixth-form, undergraduate, or junior graduate level - the opportunity of sampling a very wide variety of Greek prose texts, chosen to illustrate both development and generic differences. Each of the 100 passages is accompanied by a short introduction, and there are brief notes explaining difficult words and drawing attention to linguistic and stylistic points occurring in the extracts. Full references to grammars are given, and the texts are supplemented with a useful general introduction as well as indexes of words and of grammatical and stylistic features. The extracts cover the entire range from the fifth century BC to the fifth century AD: Herodotus, Thucydides, and other historians; orators from Andocides to Demosthenes; philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle; and many writers from the Hellenistic and Roman periods (including some biblical and other Greek Christian texts). Care has been taken to choose pieces of interesting content, so that the book can serve as a reader to stimulate interest in Greek culture generally.
A companion volume edited by D. A. Russell, An Anthology of Latin Prose, is also available: 0-19-814746-5, hardback; 0-19-87212-8 paper covers.
A splendid survey of Greek Prose literature, with an excellent introduction, bibliography and helpful notes.
