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:
As the first lecturer in English at the growing Gadja Mada University, Harold Forster spent four years in Jojakarta, the sanctuary of Java's ancient traditions, the capital of her sultans, and the cradle of Indonesia's newly-gained independence. This colourful commentary on the political, cultural, and social life of early 1950s Java studies the institutions of its mixed heritage, as well as delighting in its towns and cities, temples and palaces, crafts and
countryside, dance forms and puppet drama.
