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:
Baldwin's ground-breaking second novel, which established him as one of the great American writers of his time
'Audacious... remarkable... elegant and courageous' Caryl Phillips
David, a young American in 1950s Paris, is waiting for his fiancée to return from vacation in Spain. But when he meets Giovanni, a handsome Italian barman, the two men are drawn into an intense affair. After three months David's fiancée returns and, denying who he is, he rejects Giovanni for a 'safe' future as a married man. It is a decision that will bring tragedy.
'Exquisite, a feat of fire-breathing, imaginative daring' Guardian
'Gorgeous, fearless, tempered by dark knowledge and pain ... the greatest American prose stylist of his generation' Colm TÃ3ibÃn
'A layered exploration of queer desire ... It is electric' Hilton Als
