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:
Based on thirty years of fieldwork in collaboration with local authors, this book is about the centrality of religious practices in the organization of pre-1949 Chinese society. With multiple concrete examples, it describes the role of geomancy and the festival calendar in the creation of sacred space and time in the villages and towns of four provinces in SE China. It shows as well the late imperial construction of large lineages and of village alliances built around central temples and the gods. Coming after the author’s China, a Religious State, it could be called China, a Religious Society.
