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:
This is the first volume in an exciting new series on the work of the poet W. H. Auden. It contains a large amount of previously unpublished material by Auden, including six poems from the early 1930s, and a complete version of an important early essay, Writing. There is a selection from his letters, particularly to Stephen Spender, and there are essays on Auden and his work by leading contemporary scholars. Together the essays form an illuminating overview of Auden's work and opinions, and those of his literary and social circle circle.
MoreLong description:
This is the first volume in a new series on the work of the poet W. H. Auden. The volume contains a large amount of Unpublished material by Auden, notably six poems written in German in the early 1930s, translated here by the poet and scholar David Constantine, as well as the complete version of the important early essay, `Writing', with a new foreword by its original editor Naomi Mitchison. There are substantial selections from Auden's letters to Stephen Spender and to E. R. Dodds and Mrs Dodds: these are the first Auden letters to receive a scholarly presentation with full annotation. Also in the volume are essays about Auden and his mentors and contemporaries, by leading scholars in the field such as Valentine Cunningham, John Fuller, Julian Symons, and Stan Smith, as well as by outstanding newcomers. For bibliophiles, there is advice on collecting Auden's works, and Edward Mendelson has contributed a Supplement to his comprehensive W. H. Auden: A Bibliography, 1924-1969.
'this is a most rewarding contribution to Auden studies, setting a high standard for succeeding volumes in a series'
John Whitehead, The W.H. Auden Society Newsletter, No.6, December 1990
