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.

'This is not just one among numerous books written on the Mah?bh?rata, but a fresh scholarly look at some controversies about the epic, leading to some definite conclusions.(...) This volume could be seen as the beginning of approaching the Mah?bh?rata from the perspective of the up?khy?na and ?a new way of navigating the epic, using not the so-called heroic epic as our guide but the epic?s own musings about itself and its characters, provided self-reflexively via its narration of its up?khy?nas?. (...) With fourteen chapters on a wide range of topics?from the connection of R?m?ya?a?s Uttarak??da to the Mah?bh?rata to the depictions of some Mah?bh?rata?s characters?Argument and Design is a welcome relief from the existing predictable literature on the Mah?bh?rata, and could be a good starting point for anyone who wants to critically study the epic ?as a whole.?
