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:
Art? Erotica? Or Pornography?
The naked body in art has been with us for millennia. Yet even today, with our supposed relaxation of the codes of behaviour surrounding nudity, erotic images are considered provocative, dangerous, and are often unwelcome in the public sphere.
Now, focusing on the last 150 years of western art, and using the latest research and analysis, a leading female scholar explores the fierce debates surrounding art and the erotic.
Long description:
Art? Erotica? Or Pornography?
Discussions of what actually constitutes erotic art are incredibly complex and usually highly controversial. The naked body in art has been with us since the earliest examples of Greek art and sculpture. The creation and display of such works of art has always inflamed opinion and today, even with our supposed relaxation of the codes of behaviour surrounding nudity, such images are considered provocative, dangerous, and are often unwelcome in the public sphere.
Now - focusing on the last 150 years of western art, these debates are finally explored in an imaginative and engaging way using the latest research and analysis into this and related subject areas - by a woman.
