    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.

    Long description:

    The book consists of a major essay on the subject and biographical presentations of seven sculptors who form a distinctive school in contemporary Indian sculpture. In the major essay the historical tradition of Indian sculpture is recounted, the impact of Western art and ideas on it is discussed and the effort of a group of sculptors to work off the weight of Western ideas are focused upon. The work of this particular group of sculptors is described as an intelligent attempt not
    just to subvert the hegemony of the Western methodology and tradition on contemporary Indian art but also, and more importantly, to formulate an expanded discourse founded upon the resources latent in traditional Indian thought and sensibility.
