    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:

    Is Michael Mann an auteur? Mann is a formidable
    filmmaking personality, no doubt, but the notion that today's celebrity cult of
    director immediately correlates with the mysterious sect of 'auteur' is
    questionable and deserves to be investigated. In doing so this book strives to
    emulate the methodology of the man himself, by ranging over not only the films
    he has made, from 1979?s The Jericho Mile to 2015's Blackhat, but also the
    scope of intellectual interests that they exemplify in an attempt to mine the
    commonalities, themes and traits that may suggest the presence of an auteur.
    Through his investigation of Mann's filmography and the personality that flows
    through it, author Deryck Swan provides the reader with accessible and new ways
    of thinking about his films to date, including, amongst myriad other things,
    references to painter Morris Louis, desert modernism, West Coast
    prison culture, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, Strain Theory, journalist Mike Royko, Chicago's
    Auditorium building and a largely forgotten Charles Bronson film.
