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:
"Exploring the myth of the self-made man, this text argues that basic narrative achieves its effectiveness by engaging and enacting the traditional psychological dynamics of the family romance: pre-oedipal separation, oedipal conflict, and """"proper"""" post-oedipal self-definition and socialization."
MoreLong description:
"Portraits of self-made men are rife in Western culture, as James V. Catano observes in this text. Positive and negative, admittedly fictional and ostensibly factual, these portraits endure because the general rhetorical practice embodied in the myth of the self-made man enacts both the need and the very means for making oneself masculine: verbal power and prowess. The myth of the self-made man, in shoty, is part of ongoing rhetorical practices that constitute society, culture, and subjects. To explain those practices and their effectiveness, Catano argues that the basic narrative achieves much of its effectiveness by engaging and enacting the traditional psychological dynamics of the family romance: pre-oedipal separation, oedipal conflict, and """"proper"""" post-oedipal self-definition and socialization."
