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:
A penetrating survey of the torment suffered across India in the late twentieth century, from one of the era's great literary heavyweights.
MoreLong description:
?A devastating work, but proof that a novelist of Naipaul?s stature can often define problems quicker and more effectively than a team of economists and other experts? The Times
In 1964 V. S. Naipaul published An Area of Darkness, his semi-autobiographical account of a year in India. Two visits later, prompted by the Emergency of 1975, he came to write India: A Wounded Civilization.
In this work, he casts a more analytical eye than before over Indian attitudes, while recapitulating and further probing the feelings aroused in him by this vast, mysterious, and agonized country. What he saw and heard ? evoked so superbly and vividly in these pages ? reinforced in him a conviction that India, wounded by a thousand years of foreign rule, had not yet found an ideology of regeneration.
A work of fierce candour and precision, it is also a generous description of one man?s complicated relationship with the country of his ancestors.
The second book in V. S. Naipaul's acclaimed Indian trilogy, India: A Wounded Civilization follows An Area of Darkness. The series concludes with India: A Million Mutinies Now.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
It is a long and angry stare at the obvious; it is humbling . . . because it seems chasteningly right. More
