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:
The collection of prose poems known as Le Spleen de Paris is an important, puzzling and yet relatively neglected area of Baudelaire's work. This book attempts to cast light on the uncertainty that surrounds all aspects of these texts. Emphasizing the importance of approaching them chronologically, it focuses principally on the position of the artist and his attitude towards his art, the often enigmatic and contradictory moral message the poems purport to convey, and above all on the relationship between prose and poetry in this hybrid and, by the poet's own admission, `dangerous' genre. This is the first study in English that is exclusively concerned with Le Spleen de Paris.
'Elegant and sensitive textual interpretations successfully define the fundamental themes of this worthy parallel to Les Fleurs du mal. ... This important study, combining philosophical and textual insights, constitutes a valuable introduction to an integral study of Le Spleen de Paris, Baudelaire's neglected masterpiece.' French Review
