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.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to the works of Seneca the Younger (4 BCE–65 CE), the foremost rhetorician, tragedian, and philosopher of his time who had a major role in the politics and culture of the age of Emperor Nero.
It provides readers with the historical, philosophical, and literary background to appreciate Seneca’s works, and advances representative critical readings of his treatises and tragedies. Chapters highlight his life, political theory, Stoicism, and dramaturgy, as well as contemporary and later reception of his works, and suggest further readings for those interested in pursuing these topics in greater depth.
Seneca: The Basics is suitable for students and scholars of classics, philosophy, and ancient history, as well as general readers interested in learning more about Seneca and his thought.
"In this well-written and very accessible book, Christopher Trinacty offers an impressive breadth of coverage of Seneca’s entire corpus, both prose and verse, and a valuable overview of Seneca’s philosophical ideas. But the book also bristles with sharp insights, the writing is lively and engaging, and – perhaps above all – Trinacty demonstrates very effectively just why Seneca remains powerfully relevant in our modern times." - Gareth Williams, Anthon, Professor of Latin Language and Literature, Columbia University
