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 is a collection of forty-two short stories, translated into English from Urdu and the regional languages of Pakistan. They offer dramatic encounters in geographical settings that include vast fertile plains, deserts filled with glaring solitude, and snowcapped mountains, prehistoric and forbidding.
MoreLong description:
Pakistani literature encompasses, on the one hand, the substance of an un-Virgilian tradition back to the oldest religious epics where the ultimate aim is to find the hidden source of Grace to which the hero submits his will, and on the other hand, the incessant quest of the Mediterranean epic tradition to build a lasting monument to man's profound sense of loss through sequential recall and reconstruction of the tragic vision. The dramatic encounter of these traditions in a
geographical setting that includes vast fertile plains, deserts filled with glaring solitude, and snowcapped mountains, prehistoric and forbidding, has produced a body of literature that presents a synthesis of conflicting but not exclusive world views. Colours of Loneliness, with its stories drawn from
all regions of Pakistan, is an attempt to open a window on this enchanting world.
