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:
The definitive guide to the historical tumult and complex intellectual worlds that Chekhov both inhabited and influenced.
MoreLong description:
Premier playwright of modern theater and trailblazer of the short story, Anton Chekhov was also a practising doctor, journalist, writer of comic sketches, philanthropist and activist. This volume provides an accessible guide to Chekhov's multifarious interests and influences, with over 30 succinct chapters covering his rich intellectual milieu and his tumultuous socio-political environment, as well as the legacy of his work in over two centuries of interdisciplinary cultures and media around the world. With a Preface by Cornel West, a chronology and Further Reading list, this collection is the essential guide to Chekhov's writing and the manifold worlds he inhabited.
'Chekhov (as Cornel West and Yuri Corrigan remind us) poses a problem for the academy: he is notoriously hard to explain or teach. Rather than attempting to pin this elusive author down, this volume provides many different frames and contexts in which Chekhov's works can be read and interpreted. An essential guide for all teachers, readers, and lovers of Chekhov.' Irina Paperno, University of California, Berkeley
