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:
"Eric J. P. Wagner identifiziert und analysiert personifizierte Berge im Gilgameš-Epos, in der Ilias und Odyssee sowie in Genesis 2 Könige. Diese ""verkörperten Landschaften"" stehen für mythisches Denken und laden zu einer neuen Lektüre ein, die ihre Bedeutung(en) und Funktion(en) in jedem Korpus nachzeichnet. Eric J. P. Wagner identifies and analyzes personified mountains in the Epic of Gilgameš, the Iliad and Odyssey, and Genesis-2 Kings. These ""embodied landscapes"" represent mythic thinking, inviting a re-reading that traces their meaning(s) and function(s) across each corpus."

"Eric J. P. Wagner identifiziert und analysiert personifizierte Berge im Gilgameš-Epos, in der Ilias und Odyssee sowie in Genesis 2 Könige. Diese ""verkörperten Landschaften"" stehen für mythisches Denken und laden zu einer neuen Lektüre ein, die ihre Bedeutung(en) und Funktion(en) in jedem Korpus nachzeichnet. Ancient canonical narratives from Mesopotamia, Greece, and the Hebrew Bible fused landscapes (topographic space) and human bodies (corporeal space) when personifying mountains. Built environments (architectonic space) also correlated with these anthropomorphic landscapes. As blends of fundamental spatial categories, such mountains exemplified mythic space and minimally counter-intuitive concepts characteristic of religious cognition. In so far as these personified mountains expressed such ""mythic thinking,"" they invite a re-reading informed by spatial and mythological analysis. Taking up this invitation, Eric J. P. Wagner focuses on the Epic of Gilgameš, Homeric epic (the Iliad and Odyssey), and Genesis-2 Kings to identify and analyze personified mountains in each corpus. Ultimately, he traces the meaning(s) and function(s) of these ""living landscapes"" across each ancient narrative."
