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:
Thomas De Quincey war Journalist und Schriftsteller und ein Nonkonformist seiner Zeit: Entschlossen den Lügen über Opium zu begegnen, die Orientreisende und Mediziner verbreiteten, beschrieb er seine eigene Abhängigkeit, die Bewusstseinverändernden Eigenschaften der Droge sowie die damit einhergehenden Freuden und Leiden. Dabei betrachtet er kritisch die verschiedenen Passagen seines durch und durch bewegten Lebens.
MoreLong description:
Describing the surreal hallucinations, insomnia and nightmarish visions he experienced while consuming daily large amounts of laudanum, Thomas De Quincey's legendary account of the pleasures and pains of opium forged a link between artistic self-expression and addiction, and paved the way for later generations of literary drug-takers from Baudelaire to Burroughs.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
