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:
An unforgettable memoir about a life of adventure in the great outdoors and the power of a dog's transformative love
?Cédric Sapin-Defour?s celebration of the life of Ubac has made him a literary sensation? Sunday Times
?A tribute to the love humans feel for their pets? Guardian
A tiny ad in a local newspaper catches Cédric Sapin-Defour?s eye: a litter of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies need homes. A lonely, single, sports teacher and mountain climber in the French Alps, Cédric visits the dogs and immediately falls for the puppy with a blue collar.
Named Ubac, French for the north side of the mountain ? the rainy, cloudy slope ? the puppy quickly upends Cédric?s life. They go on hikes together, taking to the hills and exploring, forging a bond that brings joy and a sense of fulfilment and adventure. They brave the world together, hate to be apart, crave the mountains and the natural world; they protect each other.
Over the course of thirteen years, their pack expands to include Mathilde, Cédric?s wife, and more dogs. Ubac and Me is an intimate meditation on a joyous life lived too fast, the aching pain of separation, and the transformative effect of unconditional love.
Ubac and Me has been a word-of-mouth sensation, selling over half a million copies in France.
