    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:

    This is Volume 2 of a 2-volume set: Compiled by the scholar statesman Sima Guang of the Song dynasty, Zizhi tongjian is well recognised as one of the major histories of China.

    In length and extent, Later or Eastern Han was one of the great empires of east Asia, and its eventual failure led to the heroic age of the Three Kingdoms and centuries of division between north and south. Sima Guang's account of the dynasty's successes and failures provides detailed and informed information on the nature and governance of the Chinese imperial state.

    This translation offers a Western reader access to and an understanding of that world.
