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.

Short description:
In this volume we share Charlotte Bront--'s experience for four crucial years, when readers of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights longed to know the identity of the mysterious 'brothers Bell'. But 1848-9 saw the tragic deaths of Branwell, Emily, and Anne Bront--. Charlotte's letters reveal her suffering, her courage in completing Shirley, and her close friendships with her publishers, especially the young and handsome George Smith.
MoreLong description:
In this volume we share Charlotte Bront--'s experience for four crucial years. The success of Jane Eyre and the strange power of Wuthering Heights made the 'brothers Bell' the 'universal theme of conversation'; but privately the family endured the deaths of Branwell Bront-- in September and Emily in December 1848, followed by Anne's in May 1849. Haunted by the fear that she also would succumb, Charlotte found salvation in writing Shirley, published in October 1849, and comfort in her friendship and correspondence with Ellen Nussey, with her publishers---especially George Smith---with Mrs Gaskell, and (for a time) Harriet Martineau. She may also have received a proposal of marriage from Smith, Edler's manager, James Taylor.
Fiercely clever, the prose angry and unforgettable, the letters assembled with dedication and profound scholarship, these volumes will provide decades of reward. They are revelatory.
