    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:

    The study focuses on spatio-temporal relations and their dependence on literary genres in Paul Auster's fiction. The author examines how selected novels reflect and redefine both the representation of space and formulaic patterns of genres they can be categorised as. Semiotic spaces created by Auster share some common features, such as dislocation, diversity or incongruity. Read as the postmodern ones, they are remodellings of novelistic chronotopes defined by, for instance, the tradition of detective fiction or the road novel. As such, Auster's dialogue with tradition in terms of genre-specified features and models of space has led to the emergence of generic variants exhibiting tenets slightly or extensively altered in comparison to their predecessors.
