    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:

    A classic fable of German literature, Till Eulenspiegel is a cheerfully scatological collection of 95 loosely related vignettes depicting the life and times of a famous roving jester.

    " His Adventures : indeed, Oppenheimer's translation, pleasantly illuminated with eighty-seven sixteenth-century woodcuts, is extremely readable. No doubt, this accesibility will enable a wide public, both academic and other, to encounter once more the 'original' Schwank in all his crude and bawdy tomfoolery." -- Ingrid De Smet, University of Warwick, Renaissance Journal

    Table of Contents:

    Selected Contents Introduction Bibliography Foreword 1. How Till Eulenspiegel was born, how he was baptized three times in one day, and who his godparents were. 2. How all the farmers and their wives complained about young Eulenspiegel, saying he was a rogue and a scoundrel; and how he rode behind his father on a horse, quietly letting the people behind him see his arse. 3. How Claus Eulenspiegel moved away from Kneitlingen to the Saale, the river, where his mother was born, where he died; and how his son Till learned to walk the tightrope. 4. How Eulenspiegel relieved the boys of 200 pairs of shoes, over which they fought, making young and old tear their hair over them. 5. How Eulenspiegel's mother tried to convince him to learn a trade-with which she meant to help him.
