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 book which breaks new ground in exploring the letters of Cicero, one of the most important Latin prose writers but whose letters have remained unaccountably neglected. This volume shows that Cicero's letters should be regarded as artistic works, of no less value for being bound up with personal situations, providing a remarkable insight into contemporary culture and literature. All Latin in the text is translated.
MoreLong description:
There has been a great revival of interest in the writings of Cicero, one of the most important Latin prose writers; his letters have remained unaccountably neglected, save for basic textual and explanatory work, and for detailed history. This study shows that Cicero's letters should be regarded as artistic works, the artistry no less real for being bound up with personal situations. With close analyses, extensive use of contemporary literature, and a new understanding of the role of rhythm in the letters, Prof Hutchinson reveals the value of approaching the letters as writing. Such an approach will be found of significance for history as well as literature. All Latin in the text is translated. translated.
Cicero's Correspondence is the first thoughtful study of Cicero's letters for more than a generation, a huge advance (in common sense as much as in sophisticated theory) on anything written about them before.
