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.

MoreLong description:
The Collected Works of Wyndham Lewis brings together for the first time all of the published writings of Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), a major contributor to literary modernism and one of the most important British painters of the first half of the twentieth century.
This is the first ever critical edition of Wyndham Lewis's Paleface. It reproduces, with corrections, the text first published by Chatto and Windus in May 1929. Explanatory Notes trace the many sources which Lewis quotes from and alludes to; clear annotations are provided to guide the reader to a nuanced understanding of the book's cultural and intellectual range. The Afterword describes the historical context of racism against Black Americans and explores the nature of Lewis's position-taking in relation to debates about race in the USA in the 1920s. It also offers a detailed account of the composition of the book, from its first essay form published in Lewis's journal The Enemy, No. 2 (September 1927), to its revision for publication as a standalone volume, plus a comprehensive analysis of the book's reception on publication and its subsequent critical reputation. The Textual Appendix collates the text published in 1929 against the version in The Enemy, an essay Lewis published in The Monthly Criterion in July 1927 and incorporated into the Introduction to Part II, and surviving earlier manuscript states of the parts Lewis added to produce the book; it includes a transcription of the post-publication changes which Lewis proposed making to the book for a planned (but never realised) foreign edition. The volume makes possible a fresh re-evaluation of this deeply divisive book praised by T. S. Eliot for its 'brilliant exposure' of D. H. Lawrence, acknowledged by some for its pioneering 'cultural studies' approach to literary works, but often reviled today for its racist assumptions, language and arguments.
