    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:

    <p>Matthew Arnold said it best: “Wandering between two worlds, one dead / The other powerless to be born.” Late Victorian and early twentieth-century writers were caught on this dilemma of belief or rejection of God. Some took a leap of faith over those horns of doubt; others rebelled—but seldom completely. It was in their art that some of these issues were joined and others resolved. The essays in this collection examine six authors, from Thomas Hardy to D.H. Lawrence, tracing the arc of their spiritual quests from childhood to maturity, which resulted in the artist's religious and artistic achievement—that is, the Religion of Art. The priesthood of the poet, for example, was the Aesthete's belief that high art was beyond the bourgeois's understanding.</p>
