    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:

    Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the Modern Library

    Anne Carson?s remarkable first book about the paradoxical nature of romantic love

    Since it was first published, Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson?s lyrical meditation on love in ancient Greek literature and philosophy, has established itself as a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers. Beginning with the poet Sappho?s invention of the word ?bittersweet? to describe Eros, Carson?s original and beautifully written book is a wide-ranging reflection on the conflicted nature of romantic love, which is both ?miserable? and ?one of the greatest pleasures we have.?
