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 the first major anthology of plays written by women in translation. It represents a very significant intervention of gender in the discourse of Indian theatre, it draws attention to the possibilities of renewal and re-invigoration of the theatre environment through the work of women playwrights. It includes 12 hitherto unpublished plays from major Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali translated
into English, making them available to a wider readership. It focuses on formulating a womanist dramaturgy that seeks new "perspectivism" and a return to ritual and celebration to articulate women's experiences. Each text is accompanied by an outline of the scenario of the regional drama activity, a
brief biographical sketch of the playwright, a glossary and an index. No anthology of women's plays has been published to date. Also this is the first time that a book length theoretical exposition of women's dramat urgy is being attempted.
