    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:

    Following in the tradition of Seamus Heaneys reworking of Beowulf Armitage, one of Englands leading poets, has produced a virtuoso new translation of the 600-year-old Arthurian story with both clarity and verve. Nobel Laureate best-selling translator of "Beowulf" Composed in the late fourteenth century by an anonymous author in the English provinces this remarkable epic has enchanted readers for generations. The work itself is an unparalleled masterpiece of alliteration and rhyme beginning at Christmastime in Camelot when the festivities of the Round Table are interrupted by the sudden appearance of a fearful stranger green from head to foot. A young knight Gawain rises to the challenge. What follows is a test of nerve and heart as Gawain travels north to meet his destiny at the Green Chapel in a year's time. Following in the tradition of Seamus Heaney Simon Armitage one of England's leading poets has produced a virtuoso new translation that resounds with both clarity and verve."
