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.

Short description:
This book is an English translation of the Persian correspondence between an 18th century European military officer in India and northern Indian nobility and commoners. An extensive discursive introduction locates the text in the context of social and cultural interaction between the Europeans and Indians.
MoreLong description:
A very attractive (and largely forgotten) moment of cultural interaction and cross-over: what Salman Rushdie has called 'chutnification' ... Muzaffar Alam and Seema Alavi's remarkable book is a wonderful window into the complexities of the inter-cultural exchanges of the period ... It is a strange and wonderfully exotic world, full of surprises ... Alam and Alavi deserve to be warmly applauded for bringing the world of Antoine Polier back to life.
