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.

MoreLong description:
This monumental three-volume work provides a meticulous examination of children's experiences, status and roles across social classes during the Qin and Han dynasties, revolutionising our understanding of ancient Chinese society.
The book takes three innovative approaches: it pioneers a child-centred perspective that challenges traditional adult-centred historical narratives, combines classical texts with archaeological evidence, and employs a comprehensive interdisciplinary methodology. Through detailed analysis, it explores children's health, education, play, work and emotional lives, while illuminating wider social structures and cultural patterns. The first volume examines birth, health, play and education. investigates children's social experiences and conditions. The third volume explores the multiple identities and roles of children (or minors) in Qin and Han society.
The set will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, Chinese cultural history, social history and childhood studies.
