    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:

    A beautiful new Clothbound edition of Baldwin's ground-breaking novel, which established him as one of the great American writers of his time
    'Audacious... remarkable... elegant and courageous' Caryl Phillips
    'Exquisite, a feat of fire-breathing, imaginative daring' Guardian

    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 his sexuality, he rejects Giovanni for a 'safe' future as a married man — a decision that will bring tragedy, longing and regret.

    'Gorgeous, fearless, tempered by dark knowledge and pain ... the greatest American prose stylist of his generation' Colm Tóibín

    'A layered exploration of queer desire ... It is electric' Hilton Als
