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:
This is a thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan's principle theme is the logos, or power of argument, and its effects; she also assesses the self awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed towards a resistant audience. Within and without the play, the logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature. The argument conveys insight into Athenian thought and the play's workings, the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy, reminds the reader that this is a comic logos, explored in the comic mode, and connected with the intentions and vicissitudes of the first and second Clouds.
`O'Regan should be congratulated for this careful, provocative reading of the Clouds. It carries great interest, brings much of value to the study of this central play. It fills a gap.`
Kenneth Reckford, UNC.
`This thesis is well worth pursuing and O'Regan's analysis contains much that is new and important.`
Jeffrey Henderson, USC.
