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:
A new translation, with introduction and commentary, of Book One of Cicero's De divinatione, in which Cicero explores traditional Roman conceptions of the function and validity of divination.
MoreLong description:
In the two Books ofDe divinatione Cicero considers beliefs concerning fate and the possibility of prediction: in the first book he puts the (principally Stoic) case for them in the mouth of his brother Quintus; in the second, speaking in his own person, he argues against them. In this new translation of, and commentary on, Book One - the first in English for over 80 years - David Wardle guides the reader through the course of Cicero's argument, giving particular attention to the traditional Roman and the philosophical conception of divination.
David Wardle's excellent commentary will prove essential for all serious students of Greek philosophy in its wider cultural context, ancient history, Latin literature and Roman religion.
