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 novel, from Ana?s Nin?s Cities of the Interior series, plays out in two parts: ?The Sealed Room? and ?The Café.? Nin portrays her characters?many of whom represent Nin herself?with intense psychological depth as she boldly depicts eroticism, homosexuality, and androgyny using richly layered metaphors and her signature diaristic style.
MoreLong description:
The second novel in Ana?s Nin?s Cities of the Interior series, Children of the Albatross is divided into two sections: ?The Sealed Room? focuses on the dancer Djuna and a set of characters, chiefly male, who surround her; ?The Café? brings together a cast of characters already familiar to Nin?s readers, but it is their meeting place that is the focal point of the story.
As always, in Children of the Albatross, Nin?s writing is inseparable from her life. From Djuna?s story, told in ?The Sealed Room? through hints and allusions, hazy in their details and chronology, the most important event to emerge is her father?s desertion (as Nin?s father did) when she was sixteen. By rejecting realistic writing for the experience and intuitions she drew from her diary, Nin was able to forge a novelistic style emphasizing free association, spontaneity, and improvisation, a technique that finds its parallel in the jazz music performed at the café where Nin?s characters meet.
