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:
Ian Ker presents a major collection of Newman's writings, celebrating his full achievements as both a universally significant religious thinker, and a major Victorian writer. An unsystematic thinker, Newman's ideas are scattered throughout his works - most of which were 'occasional' in their origin. This anthology provides a rich and varied sampling from his voluminous works, drawing our attention to some of the very finest passages in Newman's writings whether selected from his well-known publications or from occasional texts that are difficult to find in print. The selection is divided into five sections, which focus on his life as an educator, a philosopher, a preacher, a theologian, and a writer.
Review from previous edition 'a judicious selection from Newman's writings... The obvious advantage of the book, apart from its representation of the range of Newman's concerns, is that many of the extracts are otherwise not easily accessible... an exciting book to read. Ker seems to have read and absorbed everything Newman ever wrote, including his voluminous correspondence, and in the process to have acquired a remarkable ability to see everything from his perspective.'
