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:
Ausonius of Bordeaux, poet, professor, and statesman, whose long life almost spanned the fourth century AD, lived at a time of great cultural and political change, and was for many years, as an imperial courtier, closely involved in the administration of the Roman Empire. A prolific and original writer, Ausonius covers an astonishing stylistic range in his many and varied poems, from an elaborate description of the river Moselle to after-dinner diversions, from scurrilous epigrams to the stately verses in which he proclaims his Christian beliefs or his eminence as consul. This revised text of Ausonius' complete works, with over a hundred new emendations, is followed by a detailed commentary. Four introductory chapters consider the nature of Ausonius' poetry, his life and career, his influence, and the manuscripts of his works.
'A good text and a full English commentary on A. have been badly needed for a long time, and on both counts G. has done a first-rate job, which will earn him the lasting gratitude and respect both of ancient historians and professional students of Latin poetry. G.'s approach to his task is a model of thoroughness. His critical choices are generally sound; he is a circumspect but courageous emendator; the obelus is relatively rarely resorted to. The critical notes are clearly and economically presented. The result is a text that represents an enormous advance over its predecessors. Now to the Commentary. G.'s notes are crisp, relevant and generally helpful. G.'s arrangement has been carefully thought out. What we actually have is a work in the best tradition of British scholarship, which has a long and distinguished history in this field ... and a resource to be extremely thankful for. Green has done Ausonius proud.'
E.J. Kenney, The Classical Review, 1992
