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:
The author suggests that whereas bourgeois subjectivity ordinarily resembles the central and progressively developing self of such novels as David Copperfield, working class subjectivity consists of attention to working environment and community that diminishes the concern with self. These differences account for the relative valuations placed on middle class and working class autobiographies by the literary establishment.
`this is a provocative work, and one that nails its colours to the mast early on ... admirable in its attention to detail and ability to assimilate those details, no matter how apparently disparate, into coherent ideological patterns. This book is a salutary reminder that the act of writing is no autotelic activity, but by its nature a mediation betwen self and society.'
Bill Bell, Times Literary Supplement
