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:
Madre Ana's account of her life gives insight into the nature of female monasticism at the turn of the seventeenth century.
MoreLong description:
In two relaciones of her life, Madre Ana de San Agust&&&237;n, a member of the Discalced Carmelite reform under Santa Teresa, reveals a rich interior life of visions, locutions, and visits to heaven and hell. Guiding her at many junctures of her spiritual journey is the figure of Santa Teresa, both before and after the saint's death in 1582.
Although Madre Ana does not refer to any books save the Divine Office, the details she provides suggest her familiarity with numerous devotional and mystical texts by men and women available at the time. Her accounts share many of the characteristics of these earlier works. Equally interesting are the connections she draws between her visions and the outside world, especially the struggle over the Carmelite reform.
En las dos 'relaciones' de su vida, la Madre Ana de San Agust&&&237;n, Carmelita descalza de la Reforma teresiana, revela una rica vida interior de visiones, locuciones, y visitas al cielo y al infierno. Gui&&&225;ndola en su viaje espiritual est&&&225; la figura de Santa Teresa, antes y despu&&&233;s de la muerte de &&&233;sta en 1582.
Aunque Madre Ana no cita ninguna obra salvo el Oficio Divino, los detalles empleados en sus narrativas sugieren un conocimiento de varios textos de la literatura m&&&237;stica y devota escritos por hombres y mujeres que fueron publicados y circulados durante la &&&233;poca. Las 'relaciones' de Madre Ana reflejan algunas de las caracter&&&237;sticas de estas obras anteriores. A la vez las conexiones que ella hace entre sus visiones y el mundo cotidiano, especialmente en cuanto al conflicto de la Reforma Descalza, son igualmente interesantes.
