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:
Accompanying Alan Heuser's excellent selection of MacNeice's literary criticism, this new volume covers the sweep of his many ardently pursued interests outside the strictly literary: philosophy and travel, history, autobiography, Ireland (the country of his birth, and one of the mainsprings of his writing of both prose and poetry), India, Greece, and rugby football. The volume also contains the `London letters' written during the Blitz, and a previously unpublished piece: Northern Ireland and her People.
These writings convey all the visual perceptiveness, humour and seriousness MacNeice's personality, and throw new light on his particular gifts as a writer of prose. The complete bibliography of the shorter prose, included in Selected Literary Criticism of Louis MacNeice (OUPO, 1987), is repeated here, with additions and corrections, and there is annotation and an index.
Long description:
This is the second of two collections of MacNeice's prose writings, prepared by Alan Heuser. The first, concentrating on his literary criticism, came out in 1987 (still available from OUP). The present collection will be of interest to a wider readership, since it covers the sweep of MacNeice's many ardently-pursued interests outside the strictly literary: philosophy and travel, history, autobiography, Ireland (the country of his birth, and one of the mainsprings of his writing of both prose and poetry), India, Greece - and rugby football. The volume also contains the `London letters', written during the Blitz; and a previously unpublished piece: Northern Ireland and her People.
These writings convey the visual perceptiveness, humour, seriousness, and enthusiasm of MacNeice's personality and poetry: they are more than simply reflections of the decades in which they were written (from the thirties to the early sixties), revealing MacNeice's particular gifts as a writer, and throwing light on his personality and preoccupations. The complete bibliography of the shorter prose, included in Selected Literary Criticism of Louis MacNeice, is repeated here; and there is annotation and an index.
This title also appears in the Oxford General Books catalogue for Autumn 1990.
`...a generous and thoroughly annotated gathering of fugitive material. ...there is much that is well worth resurrecting, of interest to more than just the comparatively small circle of MacNeice...'
